College junior Dezirae Lakes just wants to enjoy life. Being tied down in a relationship at the young, ripe age of twenty was not on her to-do list. However, her connection with a particular man makes it hard to remain single. He manages to win her heart, but she resists total commitment. As Chance Hall, Jr., known to most as CJ, prepares to graduate from graduate school and enter the workforce full-time, he realizes he’s fallen for Dezirae Lakes. She is a few years younger and finishing her undergraduate degree, so a long-distance relationship is their only option. The only issue is convincing Dezirae. When Chance asks Dezirae for a full commitment, she turns him down, breaking his heart. Ceasing all communication with her for the next two and a half years did nothing to lessen his feelings for her. When she accepts a job at the company where he’s employed, he seeks her out immediately, and they fall into bed like no time has passed. However, there is something Chance fails to mention before their rendezvous, and it causes quite a stir after their reunion. Another roadblock appears with every promise made, but this duo is determined to make it work. Will they succeed, or will the drama surrounding them tear them apart?
