In the heart of Chicago, love, loyalty, and loss are a dangerous mix.
Kehlani thought the streets took everything they could from her when Marco died. Two years later, she's still haunted by what happened-and even more haunted by what she doesn't know. Just when she starts picking up the pieces, a run-in with a mysterious, smooth-talking street figure named Saint pulls her into a deeper game. He's got secrets of his own-ones tied to her past in ways she never saw coming.
What starts as coincidence turns into something heavier. Saint moves quiet, but his world is loud. The more Kehlani finds herself drawn in, the more she realizes this isn't just about closure-it's about survival. With tension rising, old ghosts reappearing, and hidden connections unraveling, Kehlani's forced to question everything. Who can she trust in a city that never forgets?
A gripping urban love story wrapped in mystery, betrayal, and heat-this is the kind of love that comes with consequences.
