When a late-night carjacking leaves 24 year old Kaliyah staring down the barrel of a gun, her savior comes in the most unexpected form; Rosco Carter. The same man that was her ex and baby daddy, Dre, partner in crime. The same man she’s been warned about. The same man with a past just as dangerous as Dre’s… but with a future he fought to build for himself.
Rosco walked away from the streets years ago, trading in fast money for a degree and a real career. But saving Kaliyah that night ignites something in him he never saw coming—a fierce, undeniable need to protect her. To have her. And to love her the way she’s never been loved before.
But this love comes at a cost.
Loyalty is everything in their world, and Dre isn’t about to take the ultimate betrayal lying down. As tensions rise and old rivalries resurface, Kaliyah must decide if risking it all for Rosco is worth the war that’s coming.
Because in the streets, love ain’t just love. It’s survival. And when the dust settles, Kaliyah will realize one thing: she should’ve chosen him from the start.
