Amaya James was just a quiet girl from a sleepy Southern town in North Carolina, raised on porch talks, sweet tea, and Sunday sermons. At fifteen, her life took a turn when her mama packed them up and moved to the cold, concrete streets of Chicago, chasing a new beginning.
For a while, things were calm. She kept to herself, stayed out the way, and tried to make peace with her past.
But all that changed one fateful night - a night that started with music and laughter... and ended with blood and secrets. That was the night she met Stack - charming, dangerous, and impossible to forget.
Now, caught between the girl she used to be and the woman survival is forcing her to become, Amaya finds herself tangled in a world of loyalty, love, and lies. And in the streets of Chicago, peace is a luxury few can afford... and the past never stays buried for long.

When The Windows Fog
One hotbox. One secret. Two boys who swore they were straight-until the smoke started messing with more than just their heads. Nic parties hard and lives louder, chasing highs and avoiding anything that feels too real. KT stays lowkey and unreadable, carrying a past he never talks about. They're nothing alike-but something clicks when they end up hotboxing in Nic's car at a random party. It was supposed to be just a vibe. But the more nights they spend together-talking, laughing, sharing things they shouldn't-the harder it gets to ignore the tension in the air. Glances last too long. Touches get bolder. And suddenly, nothing about being "just friends" feels right anymore. They've never looked at a guy like this before. Then again... they've never met someone like each other.
