Smoke & Code: Caught Between Love and Power
Nyra lives two lives, and neither can afford the truth.
By night, she rules the shadows of the city a beautiful, sharp-tongued hustler selling weed under the protection of Torry, the feared drug lord known as Shark. She knows the streets, the silence they demand, and the price of being noticed. Shark calls her his favorite, and in his world, that is both a blessing and a threat.
By day, Nyra disappears into a different kind of power. An IT prodigy with a mind built for breaking systems, she earns a coveted place at ValeTech, an elite technology firm run by the cold, brilliant, and dangerously controlling Adrian Vale. He sees her talent immediately and something else he can’t quite name. Hunger. Defiance. Fire.
What begins as professional tension turns into an obsession neither of them is prepared for. Adrian wants to protect her, possess her, shape her future. Nyra refuses to be owned by him, by Shark, or by the streets that raised her. Caught between dirty money and clean lies, smoke and code, she must decide how much of herself she’s willing to lose for love.
Because when two powerful men want the same woman, survival isn’t guaranteed.
And love might be the most dangerous addiction of all.
