Leyana "Yana" Sinclair has one goal-get out.

With her mother gone and no father in sight, she's forced to live with her aunt in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city. The only way out? School. She keeps her head down, books in her hands, and her future in mind. While the streets around her are filled with violence, betrayal, and fast money, she refuses to let it pull her in. She's not interested in distractions. Especially not the kind that comes with Remaje "Maj" Hill.

Maj is everything Yana is trying to avoid-trouble, power, and the kind of attention that comes with a price. As one of the most feared names in the city, people either admire him or fear him. He runs the streets, makes money moves, and has every girl in the hood chasing after him. But for some reason, the one girl who doesn't pay him any mind? She's the only one he wants.

Yana wants no part of the drama that follows Maj, but he's persistent. There's something about her that calms the storm inside him, and for the first time in his life, he's willing to be vulnerable. Around Yana, he's not just Maj-he's Remaje. The boy he used to be before the streets took over.

But love in the hood isn't easy.

Maj's enemies see Yana as his weakness, and when war erupts between crews, she becomes a target. Yana never wanted this life, but now she's forced to decide-does she run from the danger, or does she stay and fight for the one person who truly sees her?

And when Maj is faced with the ultimate test-his love or his loyalty to the streets-will their love survive, or will the hood tear them apart before they even have a chance?

In a world where love is a risk, will they bet it all, or will the streets win again?
