"I told you I'd come back for you, my love."
Being the little sister of three powerful drug lords running the underworld of New Jersey isn't a fairytale-it's a cage wrapped in diamonds and silence.
Innocent was born into power, but her life has never truly been her own. Raised in the shadows of street legends, she's been protected, watched, and hidden... until now.
She was never meant to be seen.
Never meant to be touched.
And definitely never meant to be desired by a man like Animal.
Asante-aka Animal-is everything her brothers fear. Calm. Calculated. Cold-blooded.
He doesn't answer to anyone. He dismantles empires in silence, brick by brick. And now he's set his sights on the one thing that could make the entire city bleed-her.
Drawn to his quiet chaos, Innocent starts stepping outside the lines she was born into-skipping family meetings to link with the enemy, ignoring blood codes to follow something raw and real.
But New Jersey's streets don't forgive easy.
Not when secrets get exposed.
Not when territory is crossed.
And definitely not when blood starts leaking into places it was never supposed to reach.
As enemies close in and trust begins to rot from the inside out, Innocent isn't just at risk of being caught in the middle.
She might be the spark that burns it all down.
