She's got everything to lose. He's got everything to prove.
Layla Rivers is a rising star in the legal world-a sharp, no-nonsense corporate attorney at a prestigious Black-owned firm in Atlanta. Focused, elegant, and guarded, she has no time for distractions-especially not the street-savvy, charismatic type she's always tried to avoid.
But when her firm takes on a major redevelopment deal tied to a mysterious local businessman, she comes face to face with Roman "Ro" King, a wealthy entrepreneur who owns a high-end luxury car dealerships, real estate, and private security. What Layla doesn't know is that Roman built his empire from the ground up-starting with hustling in the streets. His money's clean now... mostly. But his past is never far behind.
Despite their differences, sparks fly. Roman is drawn to Layla's ambition and quiet strength. Layla's shaken by the raw magnetism and intensity Roman brings into her carefully curated world.
As danger from Roman's past threatens everything he's built-and Layla's firm pressures her to cut ties-both must choose between what's safe and what sets their souls on fire.
