They grew up together, fell in love at sixteen, and promised forever. But by twenty-five, Harlow Brooks and Xyler “Hitta” Savage were torn apart by lies, betrayal, and the streets that raised them.

When Xyler went to prison, Harlow was seven months pregnant—and he accused her of snitching, shattered their love, and told her to watch her back. Alone and terrified, Harlow is forced to fight for her life and the life of their son, Kairo, when a violent attack sends her into early labor.

Eight years later, Xyler is free—and he’s learned the truth. Harlow never betrayed him. She never snitched. She’s survived the streets, built her own life, and raised their son without him. But when he runs into her at her perfume shop, all the old feelings, regrets, and unanswered questions come rushing back.

Xyler is determined to uncover who tried to destroy their family, reclaim the love he lost, and protect Harlow and Kairo at all costs. Harlow, however, has learned to stand on her own. She’s not ready to let him back in—or trust him again.

In a world of pain, revenge, and second chances, can love survive when the streets still have a say in their fate?
