Maximus Burton is home after four years of sitting in the state penitentiary for a crime he didn't commit.

While time passed him by, he devised a plan to get his money up and to finally stand in his light. Waynesville might be crawling with affluent citizens, but Trae Way is one hundred blocks of crime, murder, and deceit. Where family is foes, and foes want your life.

Eden Sage is trying to get out and stay out of Trae Way by any means necessary. She's attempting to leave her past of stripping and hustling men behind her and looks forward to the future. That's when the scandal breaks loose, and the fall from the most sought-after to the ignored is rapid. Refusing to go backward, she has to step out on faith and bet on herself.

Now back in the belly of the beast, Maximus and Eden are determined to swim against the current and make it. What they weren't expecting was to crash into each other, unable to break what destiny saw fit to bind. Will Eden's distrust have her running away from something she's prayed for? Will Maximus deprive himself of peace to chase a dream that seems so far away? They say there's no love in the city, but can they create it and be a beacon of hope?
