Sonya Thompson’s life has come full circle. She’s had a baby in her older age, that has calmed her down significantly. Her new son, Tristan, has done something lithium couldn’t do, keep her level headed. However, that doesn’t keep drama from finding her address. Sonya is the queen of drama, but most of it isn’t her fault this time around. She struggles to commit to the one man that she loves, Shawn Taylor. That feat becomes more and more difficult as time passes. Good thing she’s kept her options open. Sonya has so many options, she wonders if she should just stay single. Relationships didn’t tend to be kind to her anyhow. Noah wants to be with her, despite her insisting that they won’t ever be in a relationship because of the age difference. She can’t seem to let him go, though, because he’s the only real friend she has. Kevin says he needs her sexually, but he’s married. It’s still flattering to her that he’s after her so hard. After Gary Lavigne comes into her life, she realizes that Shawn isn’t the only man that seems to be perfect for her. While battling hallucinations from the depression of losing Kai, and traumatic events that nearly cripple her, Sonya has to make decisions that could change her life forever. Will she make the right decisions for her and Tristan to live peacefully, or will she dig a deeper hole to bury herself in? Shawn Taylor made a commitment to take care of his children at all costs. Serita, his ex-wife, dropped all three of them off to him, and has been in the wind ever since. As long as Serita is gone, Shawn and the kids thrive and enjoy time with Sonya and her new baby. Shawn feels that Sonya is his soulmate and the love of his life. However, when Serita shows back up, she threatens to destroy everything. Shawn is an emotional ball of nerves, trying to keep his kids safe and emotionally stable. For once, Sonya isn’t the one being indecisive concerning their relationship, he is. Whenever Serita is around, it destroys Shawn on the inside, and causes him to neglect the love of his life, Sonya. He has the support of his brothers, Devin and W.J. and his best friend, Corey, but that almost doesn’t seem like it’s enough. Shawn yearns for a stable relationship and a family, but it just doesn’t seem to be in the cards for him. Things erupt, and Shawn is forced to take drastic measures to keep his family from falling apart. With the rollercoaster ride of emotions flowing through his being, can Shawn hold it together for the sake of his children and his pending relationship with Sonya?
