Playing for Keeps

Kay has one goal: escape the hood before it becomes her whole future.
Focused, ambitious, and determined to build a life bigger than the streets she grew up in, Kay refuses to let distractions derail her dreams. College, success, and a better life are all she's working toward. Falling in love was never part of the plan.
But everything changes when Cajuan-her childhood crush and the boy she never truly got over-comes back into her life. Only now, he's no longer the sweet neighborhood boy she once knew. He's deep in the streets, living a dangerous life that pulls him further away from the future Kay has been fighting for.
As old feelings turn into undeniable chemistry, Kay finds herself caught between the life she's always wanted and the boy she's always loved. Every choice comes with consequences, and one wrong decision could cost her everything she's worked so hard to achieve.
Will Kay follow her heart and risk losing her dreams, or will she choose herself before love? In a world where loyalty, ambition, and survival collide, she'll have to decide if some people are worth fighting for-or if walking away is the only way to win.
