Trapped in the suffocating grip of club owner Lenell Kincaid, Aniyah Holloway has endured years of violence, betrayal, and merciless control.

Waiting in the shadows of the club parking lot, Aniyah pulls the trigger. But the hit shatters into chaos. When gunfire erupts, her estranged childhood friend Rashad Davenport pulls her from the crossfire into the dark labyrinth of the city's alleyways. Now fugitives hunted by corrupt cops and ruthless enforcers, Aniyah and Rashad seek sanctuary in a shadowy river salvage yard. With loyal allies racing to expose Lenell's criminal empire, old bonds ignite into an undeniable, dangerous tension. Yet as trauma blurs the boundary between reality and nightmare, Aniyah realizes the deepest threat might be inside her own unraveling mind.

Jenna Morrison believed she had found safety in the arms of Zac Martin. For five years, their passionate romance was her haven from the lingering trauma of her father's unsolved murder. But their entire relationship is built on a lethal foundation. When Jenna uncovers a hidden hit contract with her name on it, everything shatters. Confronting Zac in a storm of betrayal and gunfire, she learns the horrifying truth: Zac was the hitman sent to execute her family years ago, only to spare her life after falling deeply in love. Now, ruthlessly hunted by Zac’s psychopathic crime boss, Bruno Sykes, Jenna is kidnapped and Zac is coerced into one final, impossible assassination to save her life. But in this deadly game of assassins, mobsters, and vendettas, Zac isn't the only one carrying a double identity. As the blood dries and the shadows close in, a high-stakes sting operation unfolds where nothing is what it seems—and vengeance is a dish best served under the radar.
