Urban Romance (forced proximity)

25 chapters - Epilogue

Janelle Carter has spent her life trying to keep kids out of the streets.

As a dedicated social worker in the neighborhood that raised her, she believes change starts with compassion, second chances, and refusing to let the block claim another generation. What she doesn’t believe in is men like Rico Alvarez—powerful, untouchable, and rumored to control half the city from the shadows.

The last thing Janelle expects is to end up under his protection.

After accidentally witnessing a violent confrontation between rival crews, Janelle becomes a liability in a brewing street war. Rico knows the rules of the game better than anyone: loose ends don’t survive long. Instead of letting her become a target, he makes a decision that surprises even his own crew—he’ll keep her close until the threat is gone.

That means Janelle moving into Rico’s secured penthouse, right in the center of a world she’s spent her life trying to fight against.

At first, they clash over everything—his power, her principles, the dangerous reality of the streets outside his door. But the longer they’re forced into each other’s orbit, the harder it becomes to ignore what’s building between them. Behind Rico’s ruthless reputation is a man who quietly protects his people, and behind Janelle’s stubborn independence is a heart he can’t stop wanting to guard.

But love in Rico’s world comes with enemies, secrets, and consequences.

When betrayal inside his organization puts Janelle directly in the crosshairs, Rico must decide just how far he’s willing to go to keep her safe—even if it means risking the empire he built from nothing.

And Janelle must face a truth she never imagined: the man she was taught to fear might be the only one she can trust.

Because in a city ruled by loyalty and survival, falling in love might be the most dangerous choice of all.
