29-year-old ZJ, a resilient androgynous Malaysian, tragically lost her family in a car crash when she was 18. Growing up in Oldham, she took up waitressing under precarious conditions and pursued a part-time college degree, despite a job that offered no promising prospects. While ZJ often found camaraderie among the lads, her closest companion and confidant was Abs, whom she harbored deep feelings for.

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Nick, a true-born Mancunian, was secretly the heir to a criminal empire in Rusholme. He held a grudge against Abs for an unsettled debt, unbeknownst to anyone, including ZJ.

One fateful evening, Nick and his gang unexpectedly confronted and attacked Abs, altering the course of events for ZJ. Driven by friendship and unwavering love, she resolved to seek revenge on Nick for what he had done to Abs.

However, ZJ's impulsive decision marked her as Nick's next prime target. As the conflict intensified, the personal animosity between ZJ and Nick escalated, eclipsing Abs' significance in Nick's eyes. Realizing the perilous consequences of her misguided love, ZJ must summon all her strength and courage to halt this heartless and relentless adversary from driving her "back to Borneo."

Manchester raised ZJ, only to end up destroying her future.

⚜️ Was this battle worth fighting for? Or will it be just a hopeless pursuit to win Abs heart?
⚜️ Will Abs return the favour and save ZJ from Nick's hostility? 
⚜️ As fighting is not always the best answer to end all war, will the two opponents settle for a truce?

"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son.
