VERY SLOW UPDATES
As a young girl, Arika's only dream was to make her mother proud. She got straight A's, racked up all the awards at prize-giving, reached home before sunset, and - most importantly - stayed far from BOYS like they were a plague. But now that she's older, life starts lashing her like a heavy breeze in a thunderstorm, and the harsh truth settles in: this life? A fi her.
Jayquan comes from the projects - raised by his mother and an overprotective big brother who watches his every move like a hawk. Can you blame him? The Don is offering Jayquan a new life, no qualifications required... but getting his hands dirty has never been his style.. unless it's for something, or someone, worth it.
When Arika and Jayquan's paths cross, sparks fly - and not the romantic kind. But the more they clash, the clearer it becomes: they're more alike than they care to admit.
Two hearts, two secrets, and one bad decision away from everything falling apart.
Will love be their salvation - or their biggest mistake?
