When I can’t speak my own name, yours is carved into my heart

And I’ll remember

I’ll know I’m home

~Tevon Baxter

New York City, 1980

A passionate melody covers a base of steady breakbeats to guide two lovers out of their darkest moment.

Alex White, raised in the Church and a DJ on the rise, risks it all for love. And loses it all. Including Tev, the man who can “lay him bare with a glance and a crooked grin.” Alex sinks into anxiety and depression he’s not sure he wants to survive.

Tevon Baxter, a talented rapper, singer and songwriter, can bear any consequences of his mysterious past. Anything except having the one person who matters most snatched away—the love of his life, Alex.

Against the backdrop of the New York City skyline and the rise of Hip Hop, Benny the King, a crime boss with his heel on the necks of the Unbeatable Five Crew, forces Alex and Tev to separate as a punishment for daring to cross him. They sneak to reunite, only to face their worst tragedy yet.

In this sweet, M/M historical romance, the question remains: is their love strong enough for Tev to reclaim his man and for Alex to reclaim his mind?
