21 parts Ongoing She wasn't lookin' for love. Just peace, paper, and enough control to keep her world from fallin' apart again. Simone Parker is a single mom, bossed up and battle-tested, runnin' one of the hottest strip clubs in Miami with her best friend Naysha. Love? That door closed a long time ago.
Until Marcello DeVoe walks in.
Fresh outta Brooklyn with a body built for sin and a voice that slides over skin like smoke. He's dangerous, disciplined, and known in the streets for movin' weight and movin' silent. He didn't come to Miami for distractions. But Simone? She hit him like a storm he didn't see comin'.
What starts off casual turns electric, late-night linkups, secret glances, and heat thick enough to drown in. No titles. No promises. Just good sex and a deeper connection they both pretend not to feel.
But peace is hard to hold when the past won't let go.
Simone's baby daddy, Alonzo, won't stop poppin' up, talkin' reckless and bringin' chaos like he still got access to her life. He's mad she moved on. Mad she ain't scared of him. Mad as hell there's a new savage in her bed who ain't about to play nice.
Now Simone's caught between the peace she's built, the man her body craves, and the storm waiting outside her door.
This ain't just love.
This ain't just lust.
This is survival, and somebody's gonna get burned.
