My name’s Rocklynn King—laid back, lowkey, and living a life most girls from the West Side of Chicago only dream about. I have my own money and motion, and my peace is priceless. I don’t chase chaos, and I damn sure don’t entertain broken men…anymore. That was the plan, anyway. Until Reason Powell walked into my world like he had something to prove… and something to heal. He’s not your typical reformed street king. He doesn’t brag, he doesn’t flex, and he works a regular 9-to-5 now. But behind those tired eyes and quiet strength is a man who’s lived more lives than most—drama, pain and stories he doesn’t always share. I wasn’t looking for a summer fling, but he made me. Made me soft in ways I hadn’t felt in a long time. What started as a fling turned into forever. But love don’t come easy when your past isn’t finished with you. His bitter ex has lifetime ties to him, and mine still isn’t over the fact that I moved on without him. As old flames try to burn what we’re building, me and Reason must decide—do we walk away before it gets too deep, or fight for the kind of love that’s worth starting over for? Find out in this chaotic urban tale penned by the Pen Pusha, Dedra B.
