Special Affairs
Jenica Johnson
Yahria “Yah-Yah” grew up hard, raised by her grandmother and shaped by the streets that taught her how to fight for love and survive without it. Loyal to a fault, she puts her own dreams on pause to support her boyfriend—the city’s newest up-and-coming dopeboy—believing his promises that one day she’ll be straight. But after one reckless, alcohol-soaked night, Yah-Yah’s intuition exposes a truth she can’t ignore, forcing her to finally choose herself.
Subashtian “Bash” is nothing like the men Yah-Yah knows. Quiet, calculated, and moving in ways most people don’t understand, Bash isn’t flashy—but power recognizes power. After suffering a devastating loss, he shuts himself off emotionally, vowing to keep his heart reserved for family only. Love was never part of the plan…until fate puts Yah-Yah directly in his path.
She’s loud, passionate, and street-smart. He’s controlled, reserved, and operating in a world far from hers. Drawn together by undeniable chemistry, Yah-Yah and Bash must confront their differences—and their pasts—to see if love can survive between two people built from completely different worlds.
Can opposites truly attract, or will the streets and scars that shaped them tear them apart before love ever has a chance?
