U 1 of 1. ( NBAYOUNGBOY )

Slayer's life has always been about keeping her head down and making a difference-running a well-known orphanage in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and keeping her own heart protected. But everything changes the day a mysterious visitor arrives for a Christmas toy drive. Quiet, guarded, and with a past as complicated as the streets he grew up on, Kentrell is nothing like anyone she's ever met.

As their paths continue to cross, texts and FaceTimes slowly build a connection neither can deny. Two worlds collide-her soft, caring, grounded life and his tumultuous, high-profile reality-and sparks fly in the most unexpected ways. Between late-night conversations, playful teasing, and stolen moments, they learn there's more to each other than first impressions-or reputations-might suggest.

But love doesn't come easy. With court restrictions, public scrutiny, and their own personal struggles, every step toward each other is a test of patience, trust, and desire. Will their chemistry be enough to bridge the gap, or will life-and their pasts-keep them apart?
