On Everything I Love - Paperback

by Nakita R. Butler (Author)

I wasn't lookin' for love. I was just tryna stop the bleeding.

In the shadows of Glen Burnie, love ain't soft - and loyalty don't come free.

Mali's tired of running from her past. Working nights at a West Baltimore clinic, she's caught between two worlds: the city streets she left behind and the uneasy calm of the 'burbs she calls home now. With a face that hides more than it shows, she's learning how to hold her own heart without breaking it.

Rell's got the city's scars etched into his skin and the streets' rules stamped on his soul. Laying low in Glen Burnie after a close call with death, he never expected a stranger to stitch him up - let alone make him feel something real. But when danger follows him out of Baltimore, his survival depends on more than just muscle. It depends on trust.

When their worlds collide, the line between pain and love blurs. With enemies circling and secrets threatening to explode, Mali and Rell have to decide what they're ride-or-die for - and what they're willing to lose to keep it.

On Everything I Love is a raw, emotional hood romance about learning to love yourself first, trusting again, and fighting for the life you want - even if the streets never really let you go.

This is the story of love, loyalty, and survival in a world that don't always give second chances.

Welcome to Harundale. This ain't no fairytale.
