FOREVER

Journey thought her biggest problem was figuring out what came after graduation. Senior year was supposed to be about making memories, choosing a college, and planning for the future-not getting caught in the orbit of the city's most powerful and mysterious man.

To the world, Santana is a successful businessman with money, respect, and influence. Behind closed doors, whispers tell a different story. They call him a kingpin. A man who built an empire from nothing and isn't afraid to protect it.

When Santana meets Journey, something about her refuses to let him walk away. She isn't impressed by his money, intimidated by his reputation, or interested in the life he lives. She sees the man beneath the rumors, while he sees a future he never imagined for himself.

As friendship slowly turns into something neither of them expected, buried secrets, dangerous enemies, and impossible choices threaten everything they've built. Santana knows falling in love could put Journey in danger... but keeping his feelings hidden might cost him the one person who makes him believe there's more to life than power.

In a world where loyalty is earned, trust is rare, and forever isn't promised...

Will love be enough, or will the empire destroy everything before it even begins?

Love. Lies. Loyalty. Betrayal.

Some stories are written in ink.

Theirs is written in blood.
