Scotland Craig had an easy and somewhat privileged life until she traded it all in for the love of a thug. The sheltered beauty had no idea what she signed up for, finding herself trapped in a loveless and abusive relationship years later, and with no one to turn to.

Isolated from family and friends because of the one man she thought would be her happily ever after, Scotland is depressed, broke, and a shell of the woman she used to be. But when her man does the unthinkable, it is the last straw, causing Scotland to make a huge gamble in the name of revenge. But when that retaliation follows her home, adding yet another problem to her already hefty plate, Scotland must figure a way out of the hell she now calls life. And when a sexy gangsta enters her world, reaching a hand out to save her, she is tempted to take it, not realizing he's close to everything she feels is ruining her life.

Lequay Compton, the laid back, handsome and charming gangsta, has only ever had love for the almighty dollar. With multiple successful businesses and an impenetrable drug empire, money literally ain’t a thing. Women have always been an afterthought and something to enjoy when he has the time, so long as it doesn’t interfere with his cash. This is much to the chagrin of his close homegirl, waiting in the shadows for their friends-tolovers story to commence. However, when Lequay has two chance encounters with the same woman, unknowingly, he finds himself drawn to her or them, no matter how many curve balls are thrown his way; the biggest one being his lack of freedom. Always determined and never one to quit, Lequay is steadfast in his attempts to make a seemingly unattainable woman attainable.

But when he and Scotland finally figure out just who they are to one another, things take a turn for the better and the worse … for some.

In this story filled with secrets, twists, and good Black love, you will witness the undeniable bond between two people who are fated to be together. And how nothing or no one, not even themselves, can keep them apart.
