Childish Games We Play
Layloni is the kind of woman whose heart is made of pure gold. She's beautiful, intelligent, and loyal to a fault. But loving the wrong people has cost her everything. After being used, betrayed, and emotionally broken by not one but two of the people closest to her, she makes the painful decision to walk away from the only life she's known and start over, determined to never let anyone hurt her again.
What Layloni doesn't know is that fate has other plans.
King is powerful, respected, and feared, a man shaped by the streets and hardened by loss. The death of his father shatters the foundation beneath him, leaving him drowning in grief and questioning who he can truly trust. Darkness begins to consume him, turning the once-focused leader into a man battling his own emotions.
Then Layloni enters his world.
Drawn together by pain, chemistry, and a connection neither can deny, the two begin a dangerous dance between love and self-protection. Both wounded. Both guarded. Both terrified of being hurt again. What starts as tension and attraction quickly spirals into something deeper, something neither of them is prepared for.
But when two broken souls collide, love isn't simple.
Childish games, buried secrets, and past betrayals threaten to destroy what they're building before it even has a chance to grow. As lust ignites and feelings intensify, Layloni and King must decide whether to keep running from the darkness... or fight together to step into the light.
Sometimes, the person meant to heal you... is just as broken as you are.
