Suddenly, those vacation feelings start to clash with the reality waiting for them both.

Suhari Aleí Jaxon never wanted the life that came with loving Hendrix. She married him before the money, before the fear, before Detroit learned his name and moved out the way when he stepped into it. To her, Hendrix was just a husband. To the city, he became a nightmare. As Hendrix climbed higher in the streets, the man Suhari loved disappeared. What replaced him was ruthless, merciless, and addicted to power.
