At nineteen, Nova Daniels was the only juror who believed Justice Banks was innocent.
Then someone threatened her little brother-and she changed her vote.
Justice was sentenced to life, while Nova buried the truth and built a successful new life in Atlanta. Eleven years later, his conviction is overturned, and the man she helped send to prison walks back into her world.
When Justice hires Nova's luxury concierge company for the opening of his recording studio and reentry center, she tries to keep her distance. But he refuses to work with anyone else.
The attraction between them is undeniable, but so are the secrets.
Nova knows Justice has every reason to hate her.
What she does not know is that he remembers exactly who she is-and their reunion may not be an accident.
As guilt, desire, and old lies pull them closer, Nova must decide whether to confess the truth before Justice discovers it himself.
Because some lies do more than ruin lives.
Some lies get people killed.

Before she was the "Queen of the Heights," draped in floor-length chinchilla and cold diamonds, she was just Aura Rose Grant-a senior at A. Philip Randolph High with a GPA as sharp as her tongue and a habit of chewing on her No. 2 pencils until they splintered. The year is 2012. The air in Harlem smells of exhaust, street-corner souvlaki, and the impending summer heat. Aura doesn't spend her nights counting stacks of "dirty" laundry in a penthouse; she spends them in the dim light of her grandmother's kitchen, hunched over a cracked dining table. The story follows Aura during the final, sweltering stretch of her senior year. While her classmates are fixated on the Senior Spring Formal and who's dating whom, Aura is navigating the subtle, heavy pressures of a neighborhood that feels like it's shrinking. She's balancing the expectations of her grandmother, who sees her as the family's "way out," and the magnetic pull of the streets she calls home.
