In the neon-lit chaos of Atlanta, Ariana, known to the streets and the club she works in as Angel, is just trying to survive the night and stack her paper. But when a powerful kingpin refuses to take no for an answer, her life takes a turn into a nightmare. Trapped in a car and screaming for help, she thinks it's the end, until a window shatters and the flash of a muzzle changes everything. King Von wasn't looking for a damsel in distress. He was just looking for a quiet place to smoke in his car. But he doesn't do victim, and he definitely doesn't do watch a woman in distress. After taking out the man attacking her, Von whisks Angel away to his Atlanta mansion, leaving a dead high-level hustler in the rearview. Now, Angel is caught in a deadly crossfire. The Kingpin's empire is stretching from Georgia to Chicago to Texas, looking for the woman who defied him and the killer who took their top earner. Angel is terrified, traumatized, and initially hates the cold-blooded demon who saved her only to lock her in his golden cage. But as the pressure rises and the henchmen close in, the hate begins to blur into something deeper. In the trenches of a city-wide war, Angel realizes that if she wants to stay alive, she has to stop running and start shooting. He's a killer by nature. She's a survivor by force. Together, they're a problem Atlanta isn't ready for.

Ariya Monroe doesn't play games with love after her past-but when she meets Dayvon, she realizes he only plays for keeps.

Khysen Bennett grew up in the streets with a father who turned him into a soldier, not a son. Violence was all he knew, and loyalty to his dad, Kion Bennett, was the only way to survive. He never questioned orders, until his father told him to follow Saija Fletcher and take her out. She was supposed to be just another target, watching her, move, and pull the trigger, but the more Khysen watches her, the more he feels something he hadn't felt in forever, and that makes the job impossible. Now he's stuck between the only life he's ever known and the girl who makes him want better. With his anger always one call away from blowing up and his father watching his every move, Khysen has to figure out what's worth more - his loyalty or his heart, but in his world, turning your back on family can get you killed.
