Once he arrived back in Charlotte he became surrounded by people he grew up with-and the ghosts of the life left behind. Now. He's focused on staying out of trouble and making money. At first, romance was the last thing on his mind.
Old wounds begin to reopen, loyalties are tested, and lives begin to crossover. One truth becomes impossible to ignore.
Sometimes, the greatest love stories don't begin with perfect timing, man or woman.
Sometimes, they begin when everything begins to fall apart.
This is called.

objection of the heart.
When Markeyvius is arrested for a murder tied to his former gang, the streets already have him convicted and so does the justice system. Facing life behind bars, he hires one of New York's most respected defense attorneys. What he doesn't expect... is the attorney's niece. Courtney Rose, a law student in her final year, is assigned to his case under her uncle's supervision as a test of whether she's ready to join the firm after graduation. For Courtney, it's the opportunity of a lifetime. For Markeyvius, it feels like a cruel joke, his life reduced to a "learning experience." He's rude. Closed off. Combative. She's patient. Sharp. Relentless. Forced into close quarters by late-night prep sessions, endless phone calls, and court approved visits that blur the line between professional and personal, tension builds where it shouldn't. Every conversation feels like a challenge. Every glance lasts a second too long. Markeyvius doesn't trust easily, especially not someone who's never had to survive the life he's trying to escape. Courtney, on the other hand, refuses to see him as just another case file or the guilty man the world insists he is. As the case stretches across city lines and the pressure mounts, walls begin to crack. Truths surface. Defenses fall. And somewhere between legal strategy and quiet confessions, something dangerous takes shape.
When Night Falls |DAVE EAST F.F|

Yuri found herself melting like an ice cream cone on a hot summer day under his gaze, but she knew his words meant nothing, invalid basically, seeing as though they couldn't move forward with whatever this was. Gently removing his hand from her face, she looked at the ground that sat beneath them, before looking back over to him. "Dave, I just don't think-" "We're not out here to think." She let the words that had so effortlessly flowed from his mouth, marinate in her head before speaking, "I can't help it," she bit down on her lip.
