From playground secrets to late-night confessions, Raina and Malik were always close—but never just friends. Raised on the same gritty streets, they leaned on each other through heartbreak, hustle, and hard times. But when life pulls them in different directions—Raina chasing stability and Malik chasing paper—their bond is tested by betrayal, desire, and the blurred lines between loyalty and love.

Years later, a chance reunion sparks old flames and new complications. Raina is engaged to a man who offers her everything but passion. Malik is fresh out of prison, raw from loss and looking for redemption. Their connection is undeniable—but so is the damage they've done to each other.

In a world where love don't come easy and trust is earned in blood, Jasmine and Marcus must decide if they're ready to face their past—or walk away from the only love that ever felt real.

We Never Were Just Friends is a raw, emotional rollercoaster about what happens when two hearts that were never meant to part finally collide again.
