Jasmine "Jazz" Porter swore she'd left the drama behind when she went off to college. But one summer back home, helping at her aunt's salon, throws her straight into the fire she thought she'd escaped.
That fire has a name: Malik "Ace" Carter.
The man with the slab car, the gold grill, and a smirk sharp enough to cut glass. They've been beefing since high school, and nothing's changed except the way Jazz can't ignore the pull between them now.
Every run-in sparks an argument. Every argument burns hotter than the last. And when the flames finally catch, neither of them is ready for how fast hate can turn into hunger.
But the Third Ward doesn't make love easy. Between jealous exes, family pressure, and the streets always watching, Jazz and Ace will have to decide:
Are they each other's downfall...
or the kind of love worth setting the city on fire for?
