Teyana Banks knows exactly what kind of man Kash Dillard is supposed to be.
Dangerous.
Connected.
Respected.
The kind of man people know better than to play with.
Teyana has spent years avoiding men like him.
She works, handles her business, keeps her circle small, and wants absolutely nothing to do with street drama.
Then her younger brother gets himself into serious trouble.
Kash is the one who gets him out.
When Teyana asks what her brother owes him, Kash tells her:
Him? Nothing. You owe me dinner.
One dinner turns into another.
Then late-night phone calls.
Then Kash showing up because Teyana casually mentioned she hadn't eaten.
Then his hand starts finding her waist whenever they're in the same room.
And before long, Teyana is getting a version of Kash nobody else sees.
The man who remembers everything she says.
The man who can make an entire room nervous but somehow makes her feel safe.
The man who keeps one hand on her whenever she's close enough to touch.
But loving Kash comes with more than expensive dates and late nights.
It comes with women who still think they have access to him.
Enemies Teyana never asked for.
Friends who treat loyalty like currency.
A mother who doesn't believe Teyana is built for Kash's world.
And Nyla Grant, the woman who loved Kash before the money, before the businesses, and before everybody started fearing his name.
Nyla knows things about Kash that Teyana doesn't.
Especially what really happened the night Kash's best friend was killed.
While Teyana falls deeper, trouble starts closing in from every direction.
Her brother refuses to stay out of the streets.
Her ex suddenly decides he wants her back.
People begin treating Teyana differently simply because of the man beside her.
And Kash's past starts threatening the future they haven't even admitted they want yet.
Behind closed doors, Kash gives Teyana everything he keeps hidden from the rest of the world.
His grief.
His fear.
His loyalty.
His softness.
His heart.
But when the truth about his past finally comes out, Teyana has to decide whether the man who makes her feel safest is also the one putting her in the most danger.
Because Kash can protect her from almost anybody.
He just may not be able to protect her from what loving him costs.
LOVE DON'T PLAY FAIR is a gritty, emotional urban romance filled with hood love, loyalty, jealousy, betrayal, family drama, undeniable chemistry, and a dangerous man who discovers the one thing he refuses to lose.
She wanted something real. He came with everything she was trying to avoid.
