Seventeen-year-old Zariah King grew up in the trenches, where loyalty is everything. She keeps her head down, stays in her books, and avoids the drama that comes with the streets-until she catches the attention of Malik "Ghost" Carter, the most feared name in Eastside Atlanta.
Ghost doesn't do relationships, and Zariah doesn't do street dudes. But when a family debt puts her in danger, Malik is the only one who can protect her. Now, she's forced into a world of secrets, enemies, and power plays. The deeper she gets, the more she realizes-loyalty and love don't always mix.
Will she choose her heart, or will the streets choose for her?
