Love and risk go hand in hand. Most relationships can be risky, and Ashanni Henderson finds that out the hard way. She’s smart, kind, and family oriented, but she’s also no nonsense, quick tempered, and has a slightly reckless mouth. She quickly dismisses things that don’t align with her thought process or what she believes in. However, the man that gives her butterflies will require plenty of risk and an open mind, since his past is still in his present. Asad Anderson just wants to raise a family in love and peace. When things don’t work out with the mother of his son, he sets his sights on Ashanni Henderson. He’s always thought she was attractive. Despite the eight-year age gap, he chooses to pursue her. When he does, all hell breaks loose with his child’s mother because of her jealous tendencies concerning Ashanni. That doesn’t deter him, despite Ashanni’s resistance. The risk is great, especially for Ashanni, but the attraction and chemistry are looming over them, begging for a chance to flourish. Asad’s drama gives Ashanni pause, but she has to make the decision whether Asad is worth the drama that could possibly come her way. Asad is sure of what he wants and will rest at nothing to get it. Will Ashanni adopt the same attitude, or will she resist the man that could be her forever due to no fault of his own?
