After her young love story crashed and burned, Zaria Richie swore off love and reframed her entire life. Graduate, build her career, and stay far away from anything that could break her. Love was never part of the plan… not the kind that consumes you. But then there was Onyx Brown. Dark. Magnetic. Mysterious. The kind of man you don’t forget, even when life tries to force you to. What started as something young and unspoken never really died. It just waited, grew, and turned into something neither of them could outrun. Now caught between the life she should desire and the love she’s never been able to shake, Zaria finds herself standing at the edge of a decision that could change everything. Because loving Onyx doesn’t come easy. It comes with history. With pain. With choices that don’t come without consequences. And when the past collides with the present, Zaria has to decide— follow the path she built… or risk it all for the one man who’s always had her heart. Some LOVE fades. Some LOVES fight. And some LOVES NEVER let go.
