"Graham Diggs spent his adult life chasing criminals. His dedication to his career as a police officer didn’t allow him time to follow his passion, nor did it give him the freedom to explore serious relationships. At forty-three, he’s unexpectedly retired and unfortunately single.
After years of being miles away from home, he moves back to his hometown, Black Elm, CA, to be close to his family. As he settles into his modest home, his beautiful neighbor from across the street catches his eye. It only takes one conversation for him to claim her as his future wife.
Thirty-five-year-old Naryah Tate would happily spend the rest of her life single. After experiencing a lifetime of heartbreak from men she trusts, including her ex-husband, all she wants to do is raise her ten-year-old son and mind her business. Although she gets lonely sometimes, she’s not willing to risk her peace for companionship.
An extremely attractive man moves into the house across the street, and much to her dismay, she is intrigued. The last thing she needs is another heartbreak, but Graham is as persistent as she is stubborn.
Will Naryah give Graham a chance to show her he’s a different breed, or will she continue to embrace singlehood?"

"Stray: a stray person or thing, especially a domestic animal. not in the right place; separated from the group or target.
His mother didn’t want him, so much so that she named him “Him” and dropped him off on his father’s doorstep. Because his father had an affair and cheated on his wife, he wanted nothing to do with the outside son that affair created. Derrick gave Him to his grandparents to raise, and they did until he was sixteen. At that point, he was forced to live with his father, stepmother, and three brothers—one of which made sure he knew he was a stray.
Cordova met Him while being tortured by her cousins at the age of fifteen. He’d gained a reputation in his father’s organization and the streets, earning the nickname Draco. He learned to be loyal, to provide, and protect—to give the things he wished he’d received—and he gave those things to Cordova.
From the first day they met, Draco made it clear he belonged to Cordova and that she belonged to him. Thirteen years later, they finally have the chance to be in a romantic relationship. Her cousins are unyielding when it comes to getting what they want from her, forcing Draco to prove who he is and why he’s Him. Will their street war end the romantic bond between Him and Cordova as soon as it starts, or will they prove all is truly fair in love and war?"
