Montana Jalahni Banks is a ghost-a name whispered in the streets but never confirmed. No paper trail. No fingerprints. No slip-ups. He built his empire in the shadows, moving with the kind of precision that makes him untouchable. But in a game where loyalty runs thin and enemies multiply, even ghosts can be hunted.
Tahani Elise Campbell was born into survival. She and her little sister, Tahara, have never known a life untouched by struggle. Orphaned young and tossed into the system, they learned quickly that softness gets you killed. For Tahani, writing became her only escape-but words can't keep the lights on, and dreams don't scare off monsters.
When their paths collide, it's fire and ice. Tahani sees through Montana's coldness, past the mask he shows the world. And Montana? He knows better than to let someone like her close. She's smart, too observant...and worst of all-she makes him feel.
But in a world where love is dangerous and survival is never guaranteed...will a crooked smile be enough to save them, or will it cost them everything?

The unexpected
Von kills like she breathes-calm, cold, constant. Tahani doesn't just watch people die-she decides when. Vonn'asia, or just Von, is twenty-three and deadly as fuck. A storm with a trigger finger. Raised in blood, forged in silence, she's carved her name into the city's bones. She doesn't flinch, doesn't forgive, and damn sure doesn't fear. People say her name when they pray no one's listening. When she hunts, she doesn't leave witnesses-she leaves warnings. Then one night, bleeding and laughing like death ain't never met her, she runs into Tahani Aguado-a quiet girl in blue scrubs with hands too steady, eyes too knowing. Tahani is twenty-two. Mysterious. Methodical. And vicious behind closed doors. Her body count's a whisper, her smile a trap, and her heart? Frostbitten beyond repair. She's been surviving off precision kills and secrets too heavy to speak. She doesn't help people. She ends them. But something about Von made her open that door. Made her act against every rule she's lived by. Now the city's about to bleed. Two women built from violence. Both with pasts that could burn empires down. One running from chaos. One becoming it. What started with a single bullet explodes into something brutal-lust, loyalty, betrayal, and bodies stacking too fast to count. In a world where mercy is weakness, and love is a liability, Von and Tahani don't fall for each other- They crash. Hard. And when killers collide? Some cities never recover.
