Read If You Free Becauseee Babyyy 😍

Plot 📖:

Kyla Warren never expected life to hand her anything—especially not an entanglement with a ruthless mafia boss. She learned early on that if she wanted something, she had to get it for herself. But when the man she trusted the most pushes her aside like yesterday’s news, she’s left standing in the wreckage, trying to piece herself back together. Before she can even catch her breath, she’s pulled into a world she never wanted to be a part of—a high-stakes game of power, deception, and dangerous attraction. And the only way out? Making a deal with Romare "Ruger" Croix, an alpha male with a deadly reputation in the streets.

Ruger is the kind of man Kyla swore she’d never entertain—arrogant, dangerous, and the walking definition of power. Too many women fall at his feet, but Kyla? She’s built different. She’s got her own mind, her own rules, and she refuses to be just another woman lost in his shadow. Their connection is fire and friction, a battle of wills where neither is willing to fold. But the more she fights him, the more undeniable their pull becomes.

In Ruger’s world, loyalty is everything, and power comes at a price. Kyla quickly realizes she’s in deeper than she ever imagined, and walking away might not be an option. When a choice presents itself—one that could change both of their lives forever—they’re forced to ask themselves: Is this just survival? Or is it something real?

Because love isn’t just a risk. It’s a war. And Kyla and Ruger are about to find out if they’re willing to fight for it.

If you love alpha male energy, enemies-to-lovers heat, urban romance, and high-stakes mafia drama, this one’s for you.
