Nakiya
Life's hardened me. A single mother to an autistic son, I learned early that love comes with lies and disappointments I can't afford. So I swore it off. Then a mistake at the doctor's office flipped my world upside down, and that's when Romari appeared. He's intense, reckless, and too sure of what he wants: me. I swore my walls were unbreakable, but somehow, he's kicking down every last one. I don't know if I should run from him or finally let myself feel again.
Romari
I buried my first love years ago, and with her went my heart. Or so I thought. Then I met Nakiya. From that moment, I wasn't asking permission; I was making her mine. I don't share. I don't negotiate. And I don't play about the people I love. She belongs to me, her son belongs to me, and anyone who even breathes wrong in their direction will learn why I'm called the Butcher. I'll bleed the world dry before I let them go.
Together
Two broken souls. One love too wild to cage. But shadows always hide secrets, and betrayal never comes from where you expect it. What we're building is worth everything, but there is someone who would rather see it destroyed. What they don't understand is this: we don't fold, we fight.
Dive into this gripping urban romance tale by Talehia, where loyalty is tested, hearts are guarded, and love cuts deeper than any blade.
