Heavy is the head that wears the crown—and Mars wears it effortlessly as the King of New York. Money, fast cars, power, and women come easy, but none of it fills the silence at the top. Surrounded by people who want what he has instead of who he is, Mars is convinced the only woman who’s ever truly loved him is his mother. Until the right one crosses his path and changes everything.

Ulani is beautiful, guarded, and scarred by love gone wrong. What once felt like a fairytale turned into a living nightmare under the control of her abusive ex, Bryheem. Now free but far from healed, Ulani knows better than to trust another man—especially one whose name carries weight in the streets. But when enemies begin circling and the past refuses to stay buried, opening her heart becomes more dangerous than ever.

With rivals watching, loyalty being tested, and multiple men vying for Ulani’s heart, love becomes a battleground where there are no clear winners. Torn between logic and emotion, Ulani must decide whether she’s brave enough to choose herself.

As Mars fights to hold his empire together—protecting his ailing mother, cleaning up after his reckless brother, standing ten toes down with his right-hand man Jabez, and keeping enemies at bay—he finds himself facing his toughest challenge yet: healing a heart he didn’t break.

Will Ulani allow her past to dictate her future, or will she finally claim the love and peace she and her son deserve? And will loving a king lift her to new heights—or be the very thing that brings them both to their knees?
