They were raised to honor tradition. Falling in love was never part of the plan.
Summa and Angola come from two proud families in Kingston, Jamaica—families with deep roots, strong expectations, and very different cultural values. Their futures were mapped out long before they met. But when a chance encounter sparks something undeniable, their hearts begin to rewrite the rules.
Drawn together by curiosity and connection, Summa and Angola must navigate the tension between love and loyalty. Their bond is real—but so are the consequences. In a world where family legacy matters more than personal desire, can they choose each other without losing everything?
A heartfelt, clean romance about forbidden love, cultural identity, and the courage to follow your heart.
