Nadia
I expect nothing.
From life, from God, from men.
I don’t hope or want or pray. Those are luxuries I can’t afford when I’m doing the desperate math of survival while walking the tight rope of life on the run in a strange city.
New Haven wasn’t supposed to be a fresh start. That would be asking too much from a life that took my parents from me and left me vulnerable to monsters. To be used but not loved. To be kept but not cherished.
I’d accepted my fate, settled in it like sore feet in a pair of ill fitted heels, but then he walked into my life and released me from the prison of my past, leaving me free to hope, to want, to love.
Sebastian
I didn’t know I was looking for anything until I was looking at her.
And since the moment she came into my view, I haven’t been able to look away. There’s something sad behind her eyes. Something desperate in the way she moves through the world. Like the devil is on her heels and she doesn’t know whether to run or stay and fight.
Other people’s problems aren’t usually something I have time for, but for her I’ll make time. For her, I’ll stand and fight. I’ll make her battles my battles, her dreams my dreams, and her safety my top priority.

Thank you Good Girls PR for the arc! “How could you ever think I don't want you around after all the things I've done to keep you in my orbit?” Yeeeaaaaa this one is my new favorite in the New Haven Series! J.L Seegers knows how to create stories about Black Love. She's truly an artist with it. Crafting stories of Black men protecting and loving on Black women. It's amazing! You know when you loved a book so much it's hard to actually do a review for it??? That's what's happening here lol. This story was definitely the darkest one in the series so far, but it was such a good story. Nadia was such a resilient FMC, and deserved everything Sebastian gave her and more. I was definitely surprised how hard and fast (lol) Sebastian fell for Nadia. It was one of the aspects in the book that I loved all the way through, just how he consistently fought for her to want better for herself, and to accept his love in her life and to trust him. Overall 10/10 will recommend! Can't wait for the next book in the New Haven series!
