"In the streets, love ain't soft. It's survival."
Kennedy James is a hustlin' hairstylist with hands blessed by God and a mouth slicker than hot grease. She built her business from the ground up in the heart of Atlanta-but when her brother CJ gets gunned down in a drive-by, everything she thought was solid turns shaky.
Enter Ethan Greene-a tall, dark, dreadheaded ex-trapper turned semi-legit businessman who left the streets alone... until the streets called him back. He's the only one with enough pull, pain, and power to protect Kennedy and her family-but falling for her might be the most dangerous move he ever made.
As secrets unravel, old beef resurfaces, and bodies drop, Kennedy and Ethan are forced to ride through betrayal, heartbreak, and bloodshed. Snitches in the crew, cops on their necks, and enemies watching every move-ain't no fairy tale here.
This ain't a love story. It's a war story... with love in it.
