She was raised to play it safe. He was taught to survive. One birthday changed everything.
Imani James has always done what she was told-honor roll student, quiet daughter, the "good girl" in a family full of chaos. At 19, stuck in a gap year she never asked for, she's craving something real, something reckless, something hers. She just doesn't know what... until her birthday brings her face-to-face with Zayvion Carter.
Zay's been surviving the streets since he was a teen-smart, guarded, and loyal to a fault. He and Imani went to school together, barely spoke, but she always stood out. Now she's back in his orbit, glowing with quiet fire, and he's not sure if she's a blessing or a trap he can't afford.
