Samara learned the hard way that nothing lasts forever.
Losing Javier shattered her, leaving her to pick up the pieces of a love that felt unbreakable. Two years later, she's finally trying to move forward but the pain lingers, and the idea of loving again feels like a betrayal.
When she meets someone who challenges the walls she's built, Samara finds herself torn between fear and the chance at something real. But falling in love again means risking everything-her heart, her peace, and the promise she once made to herself.
Essence was just trying to make it. Struggling to keep her head high in the tough, cruel streets of the damp ghetto that was her neighborhood. Her life was far from perfect but is a facade really that easy to hide behind?
Roman had made it. He had risen to hood royalty years ago and through much dedication, fought his way out of the dead end streets. But no matter how far he's gone the heart wants what it wants.
Death threats, old rekindled love, the truth and survival collide in this tale of forever love.
