Amaya Lewis knows the law better than she knows herself. At only twenty-seven, she's the rising Black star of civil litigation-sharp-mouthed in court, soft-hearted in life, and determined to protect the people the world forgets. But when she takes on Elijah Ward, a former Army sniper threatening to expose illegal missions and buried military casualties, Amaya steps into a battlefield she can't see. Within days, she becomes a high-value liability-and someone in the government signs her name on a quiet, classified order. Kairo Holt has followed orders his whole life. No hesitation. No questions. No guilt. He's the weapon they call when they don't want fingerprints on the outcome. Kairo is playing both sides. Amaya doesn't know she's sleeping next to the very man sent to end her. And the deeper he falls for her, the more impossible the mission becomes. Because he can't serve two masters forever. And when the crosshairs finally close in, Kairo has to decide: The job... or the woman who made him hesitate.

Nyla Carrington has spent years building Pretty N Athletic from the ground up. The last thing she needs is Kashmere Laurent-fine, rich, controlling, and somehow always in her business. What starts as one-night turns into something neither of them keeps casual for long. Between family, money, jealousy, business, arguments, and enough sex to make walking away harder than it should be, Nyla and Kash have to figure out whether loving each other is enough when neither one knows how to stop doing the exact shit that gets under the other's skin.
