He swore he loved me, but love don't raise no child alone. Now I'm stuck between his empty promises, his new girl drama, and trying to protect my peace-for me and our baby. This ain't just babydaddy issues... this a whole storm.

Nakiyah Brown did everything right. She graduated early. Stayed out of trouble. Listened when people warned her about the kind of world she didn't belong in. At seventeen, with her eighteenth birthday waiting at the edge of summer, her life was already mapped out - college plans, expectations, rules she never thought to question. Then she met Saint. He was twenty-three, calm where others were reckless, feared in ways people didn't say out loud. A man built from restraint and silence, carrying a reputation Nakiyah should've run from the moment she heard his name. He knew she was off-limits. Too young. Too clean. Too far from his world. So he kept his distance. But some connections don't need touching to feel dangerous. As Nakiyah gets closer to a world she was never meant to see and Saint struggles between protecting her or letting her go lines blur, loyalty is tested, and love becomes something that could save them... or destroy everything. Because when an angel meets a man like Saint, the fall is never gentle.

One summer. One mistake. One year of pretending it never happened. Rhea Collins thought leaving Florida would bury the night the ocean almost took her life. She was wrong. A year later, an anonymous message proves the past doesn't drown - it watches. Someone knows what happened on the water. Someone knows her name. Someone wants to talk. As fear resurfaces and secrets tighten their grip, Rhea is forced to confront the truth she and her friends agreed to silence. Because the worst part isn't being followed. It's realizing the summer they survived never actually ended. Some secrets don't stay buried. They wait.
