Betrayal. Passion. Redemption.

After five long years behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit, Monique “Mo” Carter steps back into the streets of Philadelphia with a heart full of fire and a soul unwilling to break. But the last person she expects to see is Jeremiah “J-Rock” Ellis—the man whose testimony sealed her fate. Once the love of her life, now the source of her deepest betrayal, J-Rock claims he’s a changed man, desperate to right his wrongs and win her back.

Despite the bitterness that lingers, Mo can’t ignore the heat that still simmers between them. Their stolen moments ignite an undeniable passion, but trust is a battle she’s not sure she can win. And as she fights to reclaim her life, a dangerous enemy resurfaces—Caden Watts, the ruthless kingpin who let Mo take the fall for his crimes. He’s back to finish what he started, and this time, he won’t let her walk away.

With danger closing in and her heart warring between love and revenge, Mo must decide: can she ever trust J-Rock again, or will the past destroy them both? In a world where loyalty is tested and love is a risk, Mo and J-Rock will have to fight for their second chance—or lose everything.

Perfect for fans of steamy, high-stakes romance with a pulse-pounding edge, this gripping tale of passion and redemption will leave you breathless.
