Stray

tray: 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?
