-What good is having a heart if I ain't using it to love you?- - Malik Nyland Rue Johnson, the District Attorney of Memphis, had a weakness - bad boys. Because of this her job, freedom, and life were compromised. When she found herself hiding in her boyfriend's closet praying the sent gunmen wouldn't find her there was only one person she could think of to call - Malik Nyland. Malik was the man your mother warned you about. He was intelligent, owned several businesses, and left the streets before it consumed him and led to death or jail. He was the perfect mix of hood and gentleman just as Rue desired. He captured her heart the first time they met years ago. There was just one problem - he had absolutely no desire of giving Rue or any other woman access to his heart. Yes... he was that guy. The one that chose sex over love. One night stands over romance. Crime over companionship. When the two cross paths this final time and are forced to spend time together alone they find themselves with two options -allow their similarities and stubbornness to keep them from truly experiencing life and love together and almost kill each other in the process, or yank down their pride, guards, and stubbornness and take a chance on each other and love.
