Sonnet Ellison had survived foster care and built a quiet, self-made life with a home, degrees, a career, and one best friend she loved like family, until a late night left her as the only witness to crime boss Roman Granger murdering his own son.
Roman went to Vega, one-third of the Street Kings and the man who handled problems quietly, claiming he needed to know exactly what she had seen before the police found her.
Vega took the job believing he was helping a father avenge a killing, never realizing Roman was the murderer and that Sonnet was a loose end meant to vanish.
By the time the truth became clear, Vega had already kidnapped her, and what was supposed to stay business had turned dangerously personal.
Guarded, brilliant, and unwilling to trust the man who had forced his way into her life, Sonnet fought him even as Roman closed in and they had no choice but to depend on each other.
