Anna never thought she'd have a stepfather. She definitely never thought she'd walk in on him touching himself. Now she can't unsee it. And Steve can't pretend nothing happened. What follows is a dangerous pull neither of them meant to feel, a slow unraveling of boundaries inside a house that suddenly feels too small, too hot, and far too forbidden.

After twelve years behind bars, Iman has learned to feel nothing. With only six months left on his sentence, the last thing he expects is a new cell mate who forces him to confront everything he buried for so long.

He runs Miami like a silent war. No mercy. No weakness. No attachments. Until Chiara Kingston. She was never meant to survive in his world: too ambitious, too intentional, too full of light. Chiara built her life around discipline and dreams, not street politics and whispered threats. But the moment Quadir "DonQ" Ansari saw her, he made a decision he's never made before: She's off limits to the world. If Miami ever dares to touch her... it won't be a warning. It'll be a funeral. He fell first. And when she finally falls? There won't be a safe place left to land.
