Mia Graham. 22 years old. A little weird. A sweet, innocent, kind woman who loves romance. Anything having to do with love? She loves it. Living in a small town in a small house with only one best friend and practically nothing to her name is how her life is right now, and she's making the best of it.
A guy who worships her? A guy who claims her as his own? A guy that shows her a world that she's never experienced? That's all she wants, but all hopeless romantics know that those men don't exist. Right?
Plus, she doesn't even know that's what she wants.
Ryder Carson. 28 years old. A bit murderous. A lot dangerous. A cold, intimidating, and untouchable man who has a haunted past. Innocent will never be used to describe him. Boss of a Mafia? That's his job. Staying at his grandmothers house for a few days sounds like the perfect break that he so desperately needs, but he never expected her.
When he meets a sweet woman who somehow sees through his mask and makes him feel like maybe he isn't drowning in dark water, what will he do?
Stay and treat her like the queen that he thinks she is or walk away because he thinks that he'll drag her into the dark that he can't seem to be able to escape from himself?

Janunu Williams, the most ruthless member of the Royals. Her skills, advanced hearing, and thinking are what makes her the perfect solider.
In the eyes of her family they see her as an uncontrollable monster, who will never meet their standards as a valued member of the Royals.
The only reason that no one amongst the Royals haven't killed her is because she is the Key.
The Key is someone who represents the gang for their entire lives, they are also to be protected at all costs. They can't be replaced until the next key is born, which is the orignal key's 5th born child. Yeah I know it sucks, keys are mandatory to have 5 or more kids.
The Royals have many rivals and the most common is the Alphas, they have been at war with them since like forever. The government has given up on trying to control the Royals and Alphas.
Both gangs follow no rules of any outsider. They are very large in numbers making them spread across the U.S. Oh and they can't forget the fact that both gangs have more advanced fighters then the U.S. enforecments.
Throughout Janunu's life there was many ups and downs, but mostly downs. Her rival gang has almost taken everything from the Royals, until things changed.
