For the past several years, Jahzara Franklin has had the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Her mother suddenly passed away from a brain aneurysm, making her the sole caregiver for her teenage sister because their father wasn't in the picture. When she's unable to find a job that pays enough for her and her sister to live comfortably, she swallows her pride and does something she never thought she'd do. When she meets a man who appears to have good intentions, she gives him a chance, only to find out six months later that he's a fraud.

Dakari Bentley has been angry for as long as he can remember. He regularly witnessed the man who carried half of his DNA beat the woman who carried the other half, so it was hard for him not to be mad. One day, Dakari snapped, and the trajectory of his life changed in ways he would've never imagined. He's given a second chance to live his dreams and takes full advantage of the opportunity.

When Jahzara and Dakari meet, it's not under the most ideal circumstances. However, the attraction they have for each other cannot be denied. Eventually, they give in to the feelings brewing between them, falling hard and fast for each other. While Jahzara is still trying to find herself, Dakari's future is bright. No one thinks she's good enough for him, not even her.
