Nadia Robinson is grinding hard—student loans, late-night study sessions, and her job at Raising Crowns daycare keep her focused. But when her ex, freshly released and more obsessive than ever, begins stalking her again, the tightrope she walks begins to fray. She doesn’t want pity. She wants peace. Enter Sadat Simmons—low-key, tattooed tech entrepreneur by day, ghost investor in his mother’s revolutionary childcare center by night. Sadat doesn’t do drama or damsels. But Nadia isn’t either—she’s fire and fight wrapped in soft edges, and something about her silence speaks louder than her screams. Sadat decides she's worthy of peace and protection, and ..... he wants to hear how she sounds and looks when she screams his name.
