After witnessing a shooting that nearly took a boy's life, fifteen-year-old Makena is forever changed. The trauma leaves her silent. To heal, she leaves Chicago behind and moves to California, cutting ties with almost everyone she knew... including the boy she saved. Now, years later, Makena returns to the city that stole her voice. And fate, cruel and romantic as ever, leads her back to Dayvon-the same boy whose pain first shattered her. He's no longer the terrified teen on the pavement, but neither of them have truly healed from that night. This is a story of second chances, broken people clinging to beauty, and a love so fragile it might just break them all over again.

the truth is, she didn't need to be saved. she just needed to feel loved, and know that someone out there craved her attention.

She's got walls higher than her heels. He's got ink, secrets... and a body built for sin. Jade Moss doesn't do distractions. As a personal trainer and gym owner in Atlanta's West End, her focus is on her grind-not on smooth-talking men with dark pasts and too much swagger. So when Dave Brewster strolls into her world-tatted up, freshly legit, and fine as hell-she's not impressed. Especially not after their first run-in leaves her tempted and annoyed. But Dave isn't just any man. He's patience wrapped in heat. Danger hiding behind slow smiles. And he's not backing down-especially when he finds out her best friend is dating his. They should've stayed in their lanes. But sweat turns to touches, and tension turns to craving. Just as they're learning to trust what's real, Dave's past comes knocking... and it's not leaving quietly. In a city built on hustle and scars, can love survive the heat? Or will the fire burn them both down first?

He's back, but have things changed?
