On the brink of discovering that the only mother he has ever known killed his biological mom, Ahmad is forever changed. The story jumps ahead a year and you get to see how much Ahmad and Pia are affected by the problems from book one. Ahmad is exactly what his parents didn’t want him to be, which is a hustler. Rowan is now in his life, and while he deals with the streets and his idiotic cousin, Tuck, his mind can’t help but wander to thoughts of Pia. A face he hasn’t seen in over a year. Pia is now dating Xerius and working at her dance studio in Arizona that specializes in pole classes and fitness. Pia is nothing like the young girl she once was, but no matter how much she changes, she can’t stop herself from loving Ahmad. Still, that doesn’t stop her from engaging in a new relationship with Xerius. After deciding to move back to Detroit, Pia is determined to divorce Ahmad and be with her new man. Ahmad is determined to show Pia how much he has changed. Will he be able to convince Pia to give him a second chance, or will she choose Xerius, the one man that hasn’t broken her heart? Kaseema is new to the story as she thrusts herself into Ahmad’s best friend Shyy’s life unexpectedly. Shyy knows from the start that Kaseema is not only too young for him but off limits as well. Kaseema’s persistence, however, pays off, and Shyy finds himself on the receiving end of a deadly situation that he surely could have avoided.
