Love wasn’t supposed to find them here. Sincere was built by the streets—sharp, guarded, and dangerous enough to survive them. She learned early that softness gets you buried and love gets you killed. Roman was the good one. The preacher’s son. The community savior. The man who believed in doing things the right way. They should’ve never touched. Never looked twice. Never crossed that line. But when desire blooms in the cracks of concrete, it doesn’t ask permission. What starts as stolen moments turns into blood-deep loyalty. What was forbidden becomes unavoidable. And when the streets come calling, Roman must decide how far he’s willing to fall… and Sincere must decide if love is worth the war it brings. Some roses grow where they’re planted. Others fight their way through concrete. And those are the ones that survive.
