Hailee grew up in the heart of Oakland, where love and loss walk the same thin line. After her brother's death, she's just trying to survive , juggling pain, pressure, and the streets that never really seem to let you go. Then she meets Kaleb, better known as 'Six' , a man with power, charm, and a darkness he hides behind a smile. He's everything she should stay away from but everything she can't resist. As Hailee falls deeper into Six's world, she's forced to face what love really costs when it's built on secrets, loyalty, and blood. Because in Oakland, you don't always know who you love , until it's too late.

She was never supposed to end up here. Born and raised in Atlanta, she was used to quiet luxury-polished manners, perfect appearances, and a life where everything had its place. Including her. Until it didn't. When her father loses everything, she's forced to leave behind the only world she's ever known and move to Memphis, Tennessee-into a house that feels too small, too loud, and nothing like home. At her new school, nobody cares about who she used to be. Her accent, her attitude, the way she carries herself-it all makes her stand out. And not in the way she's used to. They call her stuck up. She calls them unbearable. But the more she tries to hold on to the girl she used to be, the more everything starts slipping through her fingers. Especially when she meets him. He doesn't care about her past. Doesn't care about her attitude. And definitely doesn't care about her rules. In a place where she doesn't belong, surrounded by people who refuse to let her hide behind perfection... she's forced to face the one thing she's been avoiding. Maybe she's not just out of place. Maybe she's been misplaced all along.

*** Raising my eyebrow, I looked at my father. Then I heard noises towards the stairs area. Looking over there, I felt my heart skip a beat. There she was, walking ever so gracefully down the stairs with a look of annoyance on her face. When she finally stood in front of us, I couldn't stop myself from staring at her. She had long straight hair, that stopped at the middle of her back. Boobs that looked like they belong in Hooters. A small waist, and thighs for days. Licking my lips, I hugged her. I wanted to get a sly feel of those boobs. "I'm November," I said. "Rhain."
