They say love don't live in the hood.
Maybe they never met him.
I was just trying to survive - keep my daughter fed, my rent paid, my peace intact.
Love wasn't on my list.
Then Kairo showed up - quiet, dangerous, the kind of man who made the block move without saying a word.
He looked at me like he saw everything I tried to hide.
He said he didn't do love.
I said I didn't do mistakes.
But the streets don't care what you promise yourself.
Now, the same man who could ruin me...
is the only one who makes me feel safe.
And in New York, even love can get you killed.

Known only by the name that made him a quiet legend in the streets, Donnell Mercer lives on the edge of respect, fear, and secrets. He's not the type to fall, and definitely not for someone like Raven. But what starts off as a well-kept secret slowly turns into something harder to control. And when the lines blur between casual and something more, neither of them are ready for what it exposes. This is a spinoff from the book My Slime. In order for this book to fully make sense, please read My Slime first!Complete
