Finding Solace

Syauri Ngolo is the girl everyone underestimates soft-hearted but sharp-tongued, loyal but lost. On the outside, she's focused on finishing college and earning her business degree. On the inside, she's fighting battles no one sees the kind that leave bruises on the heart.
Then there's Ka'Siyah Pierson quiet, cold, and dangerous in ways that make people step aside. Growing up in chaos taught him to trust no one. His past is soaked in violence, and though he's risen to power as the boss everyone fears, the darkness never left him. He's built walls too high to climb until Syauri crosses his path.
What starts as tension turns into something deeper, something that could either heal them or destroy them completely.
But love in their world isn't simple.
