Loving Adonis Reed has never been Honesty Brooks’ problem.
Walking away from him is.
For six years, Honesty has loved the most reckless, arrogant, aggravating man in Ashmoor. She knows exactly who Adonis is—the money, the women, the streets, the danger, and the mouth that can turn almost anything he does into somebody else’s fault.
She’s left him before. Cussed him out more times than she can count. Swore she was done and meant it every single time.
Then, somehow, Adonis ends up right back where he’s always been.
In her bed. In her business. In her life.
Adonis has never pretended to be a good man. He loves money, power, and the life he built, and he has no plans to give up any of it.
Not even for Honesty.
As far as he’s concerned, she knew exactly what came with loving him when she fell in love. The problem is, Honesty is starting to realize knowing the cost and being willing to keep paying it are two different things.
Because Adonis’ world is getting closer.
Men are getting hurt. Questions aren’t being answered. And while Adonis’ right hand and closest friend, Davien, starts noticing things that don’t add up, somebody in Ashmoor is moving pieces none of them see yet.
For once, Honesty isn’t asking Adonis to change. She’s asking herself why she keeps staying.
But walking away from a menace is one thing.
Walking away from a menace who loves you back?
That might cost more than loving him ever did.
