"We look for love, no time for tears
Wasted water's all that is
And it don't make no flowers grow
Good things might come to those who wait
Not for those who wait too late
We gotta go for all we know" - Bill Withers
Just The Two Of Us
They grew up side by side - one raised by the rules of the street, the other by the weight of his own quiet strength.
Zoey Jacob was born into a family where survival means power, and trust is earned with blood. Daniel has always been her calm in the storm, the one person who sees her for more than the empire her last name carries.
They've always been together - from whispered secrets in childhood to stolen kisses in the shadows of chaos. But love in their world doesn't come easy.
In a life ruled by loyalty, danger, and the constant pull between duty and desire, the only thing that has ever truly belonged to them... is each other.
Just The Two Of Us is a gripping, emotional journey of love that endures, even when the world tries to tear it apart.
