She doesn't need a hero. He wasn't looking for a family. But some collisions are unavoidable.
Narai Johnson has survived the streets with her wits, her pride, and the unshakable love for her six-year-old son, Naezon. Living in a crowded women's shelter, she's learned one thing: trust is earned, not given-and letting anyone in could cost her everything.
Talin Monroe builds worlds-literally. A construction foreman with a life mapped by deadlines, blueprints, and control. But nothing in his structured life prepared him for a fearless little boy, a woman who refuses to be saved, or a world full of chaos he suddenly can't ignore.
