Sometimes, it's the very thing that breaks you. Trenton has spent his whole life surviving-dodging bullets, burying pain, and protecting the people he loves from a world that never protected him. With a criminal record, a temper too hot to tame, and three siblings depending on him, he's got no room for softness. No room for mistakes. Then Angel shows up. Quiet, country-raised, and guarded, Angel is running from her own demons-a controlling home, a past of silence, and a future she desperately wants to claim as her own. She never meant to fall for a street boy with a bad reputation and a guarded heart. But Trenton is more than his past, and she sees the man hiding beneath the violence, the pain, and the anger. Together, they find a rare kind of peace. But peace doesn't last in a world built on loyalty, betrayal, and blood. When secrets unravel and the streets come knocking, Angel is forced to choose between the love that set her free-and the self she finally found without it.

He's sharp edges, sleepless nights, and a past too heavy to carry. On the outside, he's all rage and silence. On the inside, he's drowning-haunted by mistakes, chained by loyalty, and convinced love isn't made for men like him. Then Imani comes crashing into his world. She's light where he's darkness, but she's got scars of her own. And no matter how many walls he builds, she keeps finding the cracks. Zaire doesn't know if she's the cure he's been running from...or the wound that finally destroys him. Because in his world, love isn't soft. It's survival. And sometimes survival leaves you BROKEN.
