King is a man carved by the streets—sharp, calculating, untouchable. His name rings through the city with equal parts fear and respect. He moves like a ghost, trusts no one, and keeps his world tightly controlled.
Until her.
She enters his life quietly, softly, without knowing the danger that follows him like a shadow. King swore he’d never let a woman into the heart he keeps barricaded behind years of betrayal and bloodshed. But her presence hits different. Her calm becomes his peace, and her warmth cracks open something in him he didn’t know still existed.
But the streets always demand a price.
And this time, they come for her.
A mysterious enemy has marked King for death, placing a bounty so high the whole city feels the shift. When the threats reach her doorstep, King realizes this isn’t just street beef—it’s personal warfare. Someone is using the woman he cares for as bait to bring him out, expose his weaknesses, and destroy him piece by piece.
Break-ins.
Shadow figures.
Anonymous messages.
A promise that she will be the first body to drop if King doesn’t fall in line.
But they underestimated one thing—
King will burn the entire city down before he lets harm touch her.
Caught between rising violence and the pull of a love he never wanted, King fights to uncover who’s coming for him and why. Every step closer to the truth drags them deeper into danger, forcing them to trust each other, protect each other… and surrender to the undeniable chemistry neither can ignore.
Love becomes a weapon.
War becomes inevitable.
And King isn’t planning to fight fair.
