Sometimes you have to do what’s necessary, even when you know that you’ll hurt those closest to you.
Lock quickly learned that love wouldn’t earn him the respect he so desperately craved, nor put food on the table or money in his pockets.
When he was forced to choose, love had to take a back seat to survival. It wasn’t just about him, he had to consider his day ones. His cousins, Trip and Dino, would be affected by that same choice. If he was out, then they were out, and he couldn’t take that from them.
ZaKeyah fell fast and she fell hard. For as long as she could remember, she had been in love with Lock, and just when she finds out the feelings are mutual, he up and disappears from her life. ZaKeyah was left devastated, and she had to figure out how to mend her broken heart after he completely shut her out of his life.
Years later, the two are again face to face. As much as they both want to deny it, it’s as if time never passed, and they feel as connected as they ever had.
Lock is no longer trying to survive because he’s now running things after taking over for Tron “Big Tee” Alexander. Big Tee is not only Keyah’s father, but the man who made him choose between the streets or his heart.
Will Lock be able to work his way back into Keyah’s heart? Will she be unable to forgive the way he broke her years prior?
The streets claimed him back then, but love is slowly taking over… or is it?

I enjoyed reading this book, love the fact that Key and Lock finally got it together and Trip and Bre seems to be getting real cozy but I have a feeling her father and Hassan are going to try and ruin that. Big Tee is just pathetic and it makes me sick. I know part 2 is going to be interesting so I can't wait. Good job KC Mills
As always K.C. take you on a ride and this story was no different. Key and Lock are so good together. Trip is a something else Bredan is good for him. That ending is crazy because I know there are not going to let anything happen to there girl. I'm on to part 2 right now.
There's a lot going on and I'm loving it. I'm glad Lock and Key finally got together but they got drama they don't even know about coming their way. My issue is with the end. If they owe, why burn up the product? What's really going on? I can't believe Key's father had it all at one point and now has nothing and is working with his enemy. He's a waste and now his daughter's life is on the line. I'm anxious to read part 2 to see what happens next. I'm not excited about all those missing words though and hope that stops.
So this started it slow with a little bit of too fictional incidents or twist... Can't talk too much about it since it just started but I can say that Key better keep it up with the hostility towards Thron because only if she knew what this father rekindle is all about. Hopefully, Lock doesn't do the same mistake that he did before and him and Trip open their eyes and all. Now it's time for Key and Breden to boss up as well, now...
Well the writer drops us right in the thick and does not let up.This is not the usual gangster,ride or die romance,its more and the set's the scene and pace.This was old fashioned romance done new age but still means the same.This was everything a story needed to be good and the writer gets it right and does it right.
So I have heard such good things about this book and they were right. Everyone has been talking about Lock but Thomas aka Trip is the man. I love how could of a father he is. I like this story. K.C. Mills took her time with this story to make you fall in love with we characters. It flows at a steady pace.
I can’t wait to download book two. What will become of the meet with Nolan. Lock and Trip are so arrogant and cocky and demanded respect and loyalty but the ladies in their lives Key and Breden brings that affection and softside out of them. KC Mills you a great job with this one.
Okay so that was so good I didn't even realize I was at the end!!!! Lock and Trip were bomb.com. im really interested in Dino's story bc something is real rotten in the state of Denmark with that one 🤓 Let me get on to part 2 ...
Well the plot thickens!! I can't believe all the snake ish thats going on..lock may have finally got his girl jus to lose her, and trip may have settled his hoeish ways..will we find out in part 2..hmmm. Great book..must read!
Lock or Trip, that is the question. Lock and Key definitely belong together. Her dad is a snake, Nikki needs to be dealt with and I know things are about to get crazy.
KC did it again!!! Although I am late to the party, I am here for it...Lock and Trip are a dynamic duo made in heaven. Keys dad is snake venom...just rotten to the core...maybe he will redeem himself in the next part...I am liking the couples...entertaining read...
Only four stars because I want to see where the author takes me. I can't wait to see how all of this ties together. I normally don't like more than 4 or 5 main characters but I am hanging in.
What can I say about K.C. Mills....WOW Love Love Love LOVE whatever comes out My top 5 favorite authors....I hoping and wishing some of this book have part 3 or 2 on the way. I read everything I see the name K.C. Mills because I know I'm going to be entertain...
This worthless of a father needs to fess up he really a piece of work...love the couple's and can't wait to see what happens next, as always this Author is awesome ...OUT FREAKING STANDING
I think is by far my favorite book by ms. Mills. I love love love Trip and Lock. They are c so crazy fools, but I'm happy him and Key made it work. Now her dad is one dirty mf. Let's see what happens next.
KC Mills you have once again delivered the goods!!! Thank you and I cannot wait to read part two to see what happens with this couple that has so much against them!!!
All I gotta say is wow I cannot believe Big Tee did all that and to have Dino killed hmmm. He and everyone about to feel the wrath of Lock & Trip. Well let the war begin
