Jay never meant to become someone. Raised in a city that eats the weak and forgets the rest, he was just another nameless boy chasing scraps, until the streets offered him something else: power. Fast cash. Control. A dark throne built on drugs, secrets, and danger.
But when a deal gone wrong sparks a bloody turf war between deadly gangs, Jay is thrown deeper into a world he never truly understood. And just as he's learning the rules, he meets her, a mysterious, fearless woman who doesn't belong in his world... but might be the only one who understands him.
For her, Jay is willing to burn everything.
But in a game of betrayal, bullets, and blood, loving her might be the most dangerous move he's ever made.
Because in this world, the higher you rise... the harder you fall.
