Jaxon Raynor was supposed to be a star.
A high-level MLB pitching prospect with a future worth millions, until one failed steroid test destroyed everything he spent his life chasing. Exiled from baseball and out of options, he moves to Houston to figure out his next move.
But Houston has its own plans for him.
Jaxon's cousin, Brick Madden, lives like a king, women, money, luxury, but nothing about his life makes sense. When Jaxon discovers the truth, he's thrown into a seductive, dangerous world where loyalty is currency and love can get you killed.
Then he meets Nova Kendrix.
Smart. Beautiful. Broken.
A woman drowning in bills and betrayal... until Jaxon becomes the one person who listens.
What starts as helping her turns into something else, something powerful. Something deadly.
When a rival pimp named Barron Kestrel targets Nova to hurt Jaxon, the streets erupt. Blood spills. Lines are crossed. And the city gives Jaxon a name he never asked for:
Coach.
Once a pitcher.
Now a rising king in Houston's underground.
A leader the city respects, and fears.
But every crown in the streets comes with a price.
And Jaxon must decide what he's willing to sacrifice to protect Nova, his crew, and the empire he never planned to build.
Because in this life, the rule is simple:
Purse first.
Emotion last.
