Leah thought she had outgrown the chapter of her life tied to two men she once loved and the streets they belonged to. Back then, trust unraveled quickly. When Leah became convinced Qez had been unfaithful and watched Keith choose loyalty to his friend over her, she made the only choice that felt safe and walked away. Four years later, fate pulls them back together at a car show. Qez is fresh out of prison, harder around the edges but still carrying the weight of what he lost. Keith is newly back in town, calmer, smarter, and hiding truths that never had the chance to come out before. Old wounds resurface. Unspoken desires ignite. And the lines between past and present blur when Leah realizes the story she ran from may not be the truth she believed. Some loves don't fade. Some bonds were never meant to be broken. And some hearts were always meant to be shared.

Zontae "Zonny" Carter has spent his whole life surviving by one rule: don't be different. On 55th Street, respect is everything-and Zontae has it. He runs with his gang, rides for his brothers, and keeps his head down. Nobody knows his secret. Nobody can. Across the hood, Apex controls the other side-organized, ruthless, untouchable. Their leader, Trell King, is everything Zontae shouldn't be drawn to: powerful, calm, openly dangerous... and watching him. When tension between 55th and Apex escalates after a deal goes wrong, Zontae finds himself caught in the middle during a late-night confrontation. Instead of killing him, Trell lets him walk-on purpose. From that moment on, Trell starts appearing everywhere Zontae is, testing him, protecting him, claiming space in his life without ever touching him. Zontae's confusion turns into anger. His loyalty to 55th clashes with feelings he doesn't understand, while Trell sees through every lie Zontae tells himself. As violence between the gangs worsens, Zontae's secret becomes harder to hide-physically and emotionally. One wrong move could expose everything. Montey's growing suspicion, Dayshawn's quiet concern, and Big Rue's pressure force Zontae toward a breaking point. When a setup goes bad and Zontae is injured, it's Trell who saves him-taking him into Apex territory and making a dangerous offer: protection, truth, and a way out... if Zontae stops running from who he is. Now Zontae has to choose: stay loyal to a world that would destroy him if they knew the truth, or step into Trell's shadow and risk becoming everything he was taught to hate-while finally being seen.

Only mine." ------------------------------------- Rafael Santigo Montez, heir to The Montez Mafia. On the streets he's known as The Shiv. Deadly with his hands and even deadlier with a blade in them, he is not the one to fuck with. Isadora Fiorella Cortez, a feisty little new comer that has just applied to work for a strip club called The Silver Paw.

Tables take a turn when she bumps into him on her first night working as a server. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (This is my book from Chapters Interactive Stories.
