But when she discovers Remo’s been living a double life, her world shatters. Love becomes the last thing on her mind… until Ace Diamond steps in. Ruthless when he needs to be, charming when he wants to be, Ace is the kind of man women should run from—but Sapphire can’t seem to stay away. Ace and his brother Aries control one of the city’s most powerful gun rings. Ace might be ready to change, but his unstable ex has other plans. Aries, on the other hand, is deep in his own storm—caught between a bitter baby mama, an obsessive side chick, and Topaz Black, Sapphire’s no-filter, no-nonsense sister who talks tough but craves something real. Their connection is instant, explosive, and dangerous. But when the streets turn hot and enemies start closing in, everything they’ve built is on the line. Secrets surface, alliances crumble, and trust becomes more dangerous than a bullet. Ace will risk it all to protect Sapphire, but every move he makes pulls them deeper into the crossfire. Aries is caught between street wars and his own chaos, trying to hold it all together while Topaz wrestles with feelings she swore she’d never have. He’s trouble in every form, but she can’t seem to let go. In the Dirty South, love comes with consequences—and only the strong survive. less
