By Chance

Chance Monroe built his reputation the hard way. Raised in the unforgiving streets of New York, the 32-year-old hustler fought his way out of poverty and into power, becoming a respected and feared figure in his neighborhood. Living by loyalty, street codes, and survival instincts, Chance keeps his heart locked away, believing love is nothing more than a dangerous distraction.

Rockey Bennett couldn't be more different.

At 25, she comes from a privileged, close-knit family known throughout their community for their success and integrity. Intelligent, independent, and ambitious, Rockey leaves behind her comfortable upbringing to start a life of her own in a neighborhood completely outside her world. Though she's book-smart rather than street-smart, her quick wit, confidence, and refusal to back down make her stand out.

When Rockey moves into Chance's neighborhood and the two meet by pure coincidence, neither expects their worlds to collide. As their connection grows, Chance finds himself battling emotions he's spent years burying, while Rockey is forced to navigate a world filled with danger, loyalty, secrets, and violence.

Caught between two different lifestyles, they must decide whether love is strong enough to bridge the gap between the streets and the life Rockey has always known, or if some worlds were never meant to mix.

By Chance is an urban romance about love, loyalty, family, sacrifice, and the unexpected people who change our lives forever.
