Heaven Devereaux is 22, bold, brilliant, and finally free. After graduating with honors and returning home to Atlanta, she's ready to figure out what her life looks like - on her own terms. But home isn't just home. It's the Devereaux empire, where her mother, Monet Devereaux, reigns as queen of the streets, running a tight, lucrative operation built on blood, loyalty, and fear.
And at her mother's side?
G - short for Gavin, 26. Found in the trenches at sixteen and taken in by Monet, he's been groomed as a soldier, strategist, and the second most powerful person in the organization. Handsome, quiet, lethal, and loyal to a fault - G is the one man Monet trusts with her life.
But Heaven? She sees something else in him.
He was her protector growing up, the big brother figure she was told to respect and never desire. But time has changed everything. He's no longer just her mother's protégé - he's a man, and he looks at her like he's trying not to sin.

After crossing the first phase of love, they now stand at the edge of a new journey-one that will test their hearts and devotion in ways they never imagined.
