Enjell Johnson is not prepared for the life changes that happen after finding out her live-in boyfriend cheated with his boss. The security she had as his kept woman is ripped from underneath her immediately, shifting her into a state of anxiety and uncertainty. Unexpected light and kindness from a complete stranger lead to a one night stand before Enjell has to focus on finding a job and getting her life together—but Dejvi has more permanent plans in mind. Dejvi James has a reputation of being a man who always gets what he wants. From the moment he lays eyes on Enjell during a darkened night at the carnival, she becomes the object of his affection and slight obsession. His character and desire to provide for and protect her makes it difficult for him to watch her navigate this new phase of her life alone, and that difficulty is doubled when his best female friend comes back to town ready to collect on a promise they made when they were eighteen years old. Days spent intimately and nights filled with bonding are risked by old promises and new trauma. Will Enjell and Dejvi be able to prioritize their budding relationship as it blooms, or will it be destroyed before it reaches its peak?
