Russian Roulette

Everyone in the city knows Kyro Malik Johnson. His name carries weight in the streets-feared, respected, and whispered about. Cold, rude, and dangerous, Kyro built walls around himself long ago. The life he lives keeps money in his pockets and power in his hands, but inside he's fighting battles no one can see. Every day feels heavier than the last, and the darkness in his mind never seems to let him breathe.

Saniyah Nyla Thompson isn't like everyone else. Bold, sharp, and unafraid to speak her mind, she refuses to look at Kyro the way the world does. While everyone else sees a threat, she sees the pain he tries so hard to hide.

But loving someone like Kyro isn't simple. His anger, his past, and the dangerous world he lives in constantly threaten to pull them both under. The closer Saniyah gets to him, the more she realizes that being with Kyro Malik Johnson is like playing Russian roulette-because when love meets pain, there's no telling who will survive the trigger.
