Keon Kitson has lost his five-year-old son in a car accident, the same way he lost his parents when he was a kid. His fiancรฉe left him before he woke from a coma. Keon canโt see past the pain in his heart and the darkness surrounding him. He wants to give up on life, but his best friend keeps pushing him to go on--as if it could ever get better.

Shakita Chambers has just landed a dream job working with a man sheโs admired for years. She would love to learn all she can from Keon, a world famous author. Except Keon is broken. Heโs determined to drink himself into the grave, starve himself there, or tick her off so bad she kills him herself.

Despite Keonโs ugly attitude, Shakita is attracted to him. One minute theyโre arguing, the next they canโt keep their hands off each other. Shakita knows sheโs playing a dangerous game. Keon still loves his ex, and his ex wonโt let him forget it.

Shakitaโs worried about her heart, and so is every other interfering busybody in her life.
