In the shadows of Stanford's prestige, Lotus Kings is a beacon of purity-a sheltered Jamaican-American heiress with a heart of gold and a soul untouched by violence. Her world shatters when she meets Tariq St. Patrick, a brilliant student living a double life as the heir to a criminal empire. Driven by the desperate need to free his mother from prison, Tariq is entangled with the ruthless Tejada cartel, balancing Ivy League ethics with the blood-soaked "game."
As their lives collide, Lotus unknowingly offers Tariq a lifeline through her uncle, a powerful Jamaican kingpin she believes is a simple businessman. Now, Tariq must navigate a deadly triangle: the expectations of the Tejadas, the hidden lethality of the Kings family, and his growing love for a girl whose innocence he is destined to destroy. In a world where every favor has a price, will Lotus remain his sanctuary, or will she become his ultimate casualty?
