Murda got ops in every direction, and Taya gotta adjust to loving a man who might not come home one night. The streets talk fast. One day you're in love, next day you trending for all the wrong reasons.

An autistic girl sheltered her whole life gets a taste of danger once she meets a thug named Santiago Perez. ​Santiago "Ghost" Perez set his eyes on Zari one time and has never left her alone since "Checkin' your location, I'm wishin' I was close to you I left my heart on the West End, I can't wait to get home to you"

She thought this chapter would be different. A baby on the way. A man who swore he changed. No more late-night phone calls, no more backdoor drama, no more blood on his hands. But some men don't get to live soft - and some women love too hard to let go. Now with a child in the picture and her body still healing, the streets calling him louder than ever. Enemies circling, secrets slipping, and loyalty getting tested from every angle. And her? She caught right in the middle of it - again. She thought she had everything she wanted: the baby, the man, the love. But even after all the pain, all the promises, and all the things they said they'd never do again... She's still kissin' the killer. And this time? She might not make it out alive - but that baby? That baby will.

He prayed for her in the dark. She begged to God for him to let her go. Ky'leigh Ace thought loving a man like Julian "Toro" Cortez was just part of growing up in the Southside. But when he got locked up, she found out the truth: being in love with a gang member was one thing-raising his daughter alone was another. Six years later, he's back. Fresh out. Full of pain, pride, and poison. But Ky has changed. She's colder now. Stronger. Smarter. And she's been keeping Jurnee away from the streets. But Julian doesn't play when it comes to his daughter. Or Ky. In the world they come from, love ain't sweet-it's war. And every night, somebody's out there whispering a Lover's Prayer just to survive it.
