They say love is blind, but for me, it’s dangerous, too. -Doll I never planned on selling weed to make ends meet while juggling medical school. I certainly didn’t plan on catching feelings for Jordin "Mercy"—a street-smart charmer with a past darker than his flawless caramel skin. He’s got power, money, and enemies, yet somehow, his world feels safer than my own. But loving a man like Jordin isn’t simple. It’s a tightrope walk between devotion and destruction, secrets and survival. Every stolen glance and whispered promise comes with a risk, one that could either build us into something beautiful—or burn us to the ground. This isn’t your typical love story. It’s raw, it’s messy, and it’s ours. But can love really survive in a world where trust is the ultimate gamble? Welcome to the Eastside of Compton. Are you ready to take the risk?
