Dangerous love

Zariah never expected to fall in love with a man like Jarrius.

He wasn't the type of man her mother would approve of-or the type of man any woman should probably get too close to. Jarrius was powerful, feared, and deeply involved in a dangerous world where loyalty came with a price and enemies were always watching. To everyone else, he was a ruthless man with a reputation that spoke for itself.

But to Zariah, he was different.

He was the man who called her baby girl. The man who made her feel protected, beautiful, and loved. What started as innocent conversations quickly turned into late-night calls, stolen moments, undeniable chemistry, and eventually a relationship neither of them wanted to walk away from.

Zariah knew loving Jarrius came with risks.

What she didn't know was just how high those risks would become.

As their relationship grows stronger, Zariah finds herself pulled deeper into Jarrius's world-one filled with secrets, loyalty, betrayal, violence, and people who would do anything to bring him down. And when his enemies realize that Zariah is the woman he loves, she becomes more than just his girlfriend.

She becomes a target.

But just when Zariah thinks she knows what her future looks like, life gives her and Jarrius something neither of them could have prepared for: three little heartbeats that will change everything.

Now, Zariah has to figure out what it really means to love a man whose world is anything but safe-and Jarrius has to decide how far he'll go to protect the woman he loves and the family they're building.

Because loving a dangerous man is one thing.

Building a family with him is another.
