Matters of the heart used to be so simple...There is one woman that I’ve been in love with for ten years. She doesn’t feel the same way, and I know that, but I refuse to give up on the woman I love. Things progress over the years, and I could only hope that they would eventually progress to the relationship I wanted with her. Things suddenly change, taking a turn in a favorable direction. She finally comes around, vowing to give me a chance to prove I could be the one for her, but something, or rather someone threatens that. Jaida Justine Lewis.Our connection is so unexpected, so raw, so spiritual. I can’t for the life of me resist her. As a high-profile, Grammy award winning rapper, I could have any woman I wanted, but I don’t operate like that. My heart should only be for one, but somewhere along the way, that changes. Being raised in the church afforded me to have high moral standards, but this... It’s one of the most difficult decisions I’ve made, but it was also the easiest, if that makes sense.After dealing with the demons in my past and overcoming life and career threatening obstacles, I know who my heart is for. Hearts get broken and souls get bruised. Time heals wounds, and love prevails when all seems lost. At least that’s what my mind says. Tell my heart that, though, because it can't seem to let go of what once was.

Things usually aren’t what they seem to be on the surface. Ryan ‘RJ’ Charles, Jr. is living proof of that. As the brother of Grammy award winning rapper, Noah, RJ had been able to hide in the shadows. That was the way he liked it. Although he is the son of a Pastor, he has secrets that will shock your senses. Beyond the stereotype of being a preacher’s kid, RJ fools everyone into believing they truly know him. The truth is, they know RJ, but none of them knew Ryan. Besides his deceased mother, no one knew the truth except him and God. He tended to stay on the light side of things, never pursuing a serious relationship or job for that matter. He constantly deals with ratchet females and offers comedic relief for his family. After he attempts to get his life together, he decides to pursue Jazmine Lewis, the sister of Jaida, who was Noah’s girlfriend at the time. He’d been searching for the one woman that reminded him of the only woman he’d ever loved, his mom, Monique Charles. He finds that in Jazzy. However, she evokes feelings in him that he’s not comfortable showing anybody, except his Mo’. He struggles with giving in to her, because she’s a lot more than what he expected. At every turn, his troubled past haunts him and causes a rift between him and Jazzy. Unexpected consequences of his actions threaten to tear them apart. Even after he becomes a business owner, he struggles to leave his past where it belongs, in the past. Any classy woman or a woman with morals, would get tired of the back and forth. Will RJ be able to fully give in to Jazmine and all the love she has to offer, or will his past keep him prisoner to his worst enemy?

Noah Brooks Charles has been living in seclusion for the past two years. Making the most difficult decision of his life has had him in the trenches, wallowing in depression. While he knew it was something he had to do for himself, he feels like he has thrown his family away. As he tries to make a break for happiness, something happens, causing anger and animosity to grab him by the ankles and attempt to drag him back to hell. However, God sends an angel in the form of singer, TAZ, to collaborate with him on a song for her album. She brings a calm to his mental and spiritual chaos, leaving him speechless. A business chat about music turns into a personal one, making him realize that life does go on. Taryn Ariel Zenith, known to the music industry as TAZ, has lived life on her terms, not focusing on what the masses are doing, but creating her own path. She feels her inner clock is ticking and time is running out on the family she’s always wanted. At forty-four years old, she doesn’t have any children and hasn’t had a meaningful relationship in years. She’s always had an interest in the rapper, Noah, but after speaking with him about a potential collaboration, she gains an interest in Noah, the man. She realizes this attraction could be one-sided, but she wants to subtly show him that she feels like their musical collaboration could become more. Noah has demons in his past from childhood trauma and a couple of relationships that are difficult to understand. Moving on and releasing himself of guilt has been hard. TAZ doesn’t know if she can compete with the women in his life, and somewhat regrets trying to pursue anything beyond friendship. Can they move past what should be in their rear view and live in their present to assure their future, or will they allow former relationships to dismantle everything?
