Between Gears and Secrets

By day, Amara Vance is just another high school science teacher, calm, collected, and impossible to read.

By night, she is something else entirely. The Godmother.

After the sudden death of her father, Amara inherited more than a name; she inherited a criminal empire built on power, loyalty, and silence. Now, she runs the city from the shadows, keeping her identity hidden and her emotions even further out of reach. Control is everything, and she never loses it.

Until him.

Issac Clark is just a mechanic. Quiet, Observant, and unknowingly repairing a car that doesn't just belong to anyone, but to the most dangerous woman in the city. He's never met her, never seen her, but that doesn't stop him from leaving small handmade notes behind.

Notes that Amara starts to keep. Notes that begin to matter.

When their worlds slowly collide, and secrets begin to unravel, Amara is forced to choose between the life she was born into... and the life she never thought she deserved.

Because in a world built on power, love is the most dangerous risk of all.
