Kaya Jackson is a Psychology-majoring, dream-filled track athlete, thriving in the popular sport alongside her twin sister. In an unfortunate occurrence, one half of the pair falls victim to a devastating knee injury. Bright dreams and happy eyes transition into broken heart pieces and evenings of ice packs and heightened pillows.
She goes to ROYALS Academy.
Pharaoh Helarii does, too.
Height of his college career. Brawling defender of his teammates. Tattoo-soaked, highly thirsted-over, Division I basketball player, Pharaoh Helarii. Besides basketball, he's most known for his brooding and dark discourteous conduct.
Kaya and Pharaoh's worlds clash in a music-stuffed, star-winking, late party night.
And their worlds kept clashing.
Until vexation and irritated eye rolls take a humble back seat to gradually layering attraction and heated gazes.
And it's not okay. It's not okay because she only knows him personally through her best friend, Paris ㅡ his girlfriend.
Shit.
This is the story of Kaya and Pharaoh.

❝The FBI Agent with walls of steel and The Mafia Spy who couldn't feel.❞ 🎭 "Can you feel it?" "Feel what?" "My love for you." •♡• Kaya Skeats (real name: Artemis Crawford) could not, actually, feel his love. Because she couldn't feel or express much at all. Suffering from alexythemia, the inability to verbalise, express and place emotions; Kaya was a weapon of seduction honed by the Chicago Outfit. And now she had no more than four months to complete her hardest mission so far. Mixing FBI business with Mafia pleasure. Erex (Rex) Di Castillo had made it his life's mission to bring down a branch of the Outfit. It was justice that the Special Agent of the FBI's Organized Crimes Department sought, not love. As a man who kept to himself, women had no place in his life, not for one night and certainly not for a lifetime. But the deadly beauty with a sharp tongue invading each aspect of his life was making him question things. She was a blank canvas so he became the spectrum of colors in her life. The spectrum of emotions. But with the good... There always comes the bad. And for Erex and Kaya, the game of love, deceit and guns was doomed from the start. -🎭- Thank you for reading, don't forget to vote and comment! (Temporarily on Hold) it's HEA.
