A dangerous love.

When Zaria Williams locks eyes with Kamari "Mari" Jackson across a crowded Houston nightclub, she knows he's trouble. What she doesn't know is that trouble will become her addiction—and walking away will prove impossible.

Mari is Houston's most dangerous trap king: fine, unhinged, and possessive to a fault. He doesn't do boundaries, doesn't understand the word "no," and has never met a line he wouldn't cross for what's his. Zaria is bad and bougie with a smart mouth and a career she's worked hard for—the kind of woman who should know better. But from their first night together, the chemistry is explosive, the obsession mutual, and the toxicity undeniable.

What starts as love-bombing quickly spirals into surveillance, jealousy, and retaliation. They test each other, hurt each other, and drive each other insane—but neither can walk away. Because beneath the chaos is something real: a love so intense it feels like possession, so dangerous it should be illegal, so consuming it rewrites everything they thought they knew about devotion.

Mari will burn the world down to keep her. Zaria will match his crazy every single time. Together, they're a beautiful disaster—toxic, violent, and completely addicted to each other.

But can a love built on obsession transform into something that won't destroy them both? Or are some people just meant to crash and burn together?

A raw, unfiltered dark romance about two people who love as dangerously as they live—and the brutal work required to turn toxic devotion into forever. From the author of Surrogate to an Unhinged Mafia Boss and 72 Hours with an Unhinged Menace.
