He lives by one rule. Never change for anyone. In his world, loyalty is rare, survival comes first, and love is just another risk he can't afford. But she slips past every boundary he's built, and walking away stops feeling like an option. She knows better than to fall for a man like him. Still, she's caught between the life she's trying to build and the chaos he drags her into every time they collide. It's toxic. It's addictive. And every moment together pulls her further from the exit she swore she'd take. Neither of them bends. Neither of them lets go. But when the streets start closing in and consequences turn real, love might not be what destroys them-survival might be. ⚠️ MATURE THEMES: This fictional urban romance contains graphic violence, strong language, and explicit sexual content.
