Samaria Banks, Durk's little twin sister, has built a life in the spotlight: modeling for the world's biggest brands, traveling the globe, and keeping her heart guarded after the chaos of her past. But when she runs into King Von, a hood legend and her brother's close friend, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and danger comes crashing down.
Von is street-smart, confident, and impossible to ignore. He teases, flirts, and pulls her into a world she swore she'd stay away from, testing her boundaries while awakening feelings she never expected. Between private moments in studios, viral vlogs, and the unspoken pull of their past, Samaria must navigate toxic attraction, heartbreak, and the weight of family loyalty.
Years later, after grief, loss, and heartbreak, she finds a chance at love again with Cole Bennett, a calm force of creativity and stability who sees her for who she truly is. But even in the safety of this new love, the echoes of Von, the streets, and her past threaten to follow her every step.
"You know how special you gotta be to change a nigga like me? Huh?" He tilted her head back to make her look at him, and a faint smile grew on her face as he wiped her cheeks.
"My own grandparents couldn't do it for me and I loved them more than anything. You the one for me ma. That's why I ain't told you everything yet 'cause I don't wanna run you away. I need you." He laid his forehead against hers, gently kissing her lips.
"Nobody will ever believe that King Von from O Block be crying to me like this." She smiled as she gazed into his red eyes, and he chuckled, nodding in agreement.
"I ain't King Von wit' you. Just love." He kissed her cheek next, and her smile grew as her arms tightened around him for a warm hug.
