Kali's used to hunger. Not just for food-but for love, peace, and something that actually feels real. Seventeen and forgotten, she's been raising herself while her mom chases her next high. The only place she can breathe is the diner down the block, where she snuck her way into a job just to survive.
That's where she meets him.
Jordan. Nineteen. Dreads hang low, chains swing heavy, and his eyes say "don't play with me." His family runs the streets-his dad's a kingpin and Jordan's next up. Everyone in the city knows his last name. Kali should stay away, but when he slides into that booth and calls her "lil shorty with the mean walk"-the game changes.
She's fighting to get out.
He's trapped in too deep.
And in a city where love is a risk and loyalty gets you killed...
They might be each other's only way out.
