After a chaotic breakup with Franko, the father of her five- year old, Mimi’s world is shattered, leaving her with only the love of her daughter, to sustain her. Although she makes peace with the situation, she still feels hurt and alone until fate takes an unexpected turn.
This is when Mimi crosses paths with Dustin, a thoughtful and caring man who appears to be the missing piece in her life. Unlike Franko, Dustin values and respects Mimi.
As the two of them navigate the delicate dance of new love, secrets from Dustin's past threaten to unravel the budding romance. Mimi must decide whether these revelations are enough to drive her away or if the strength of their connection can weather the storms of uncertainty.
While the couple fight to make things work, Franko becomes increasingly unhinged and consumed by jealousy over his ex’s new love interest and distances himself from his current girlfriend, Aretha. The harsh rejection causes Aretha’s life to spiral out of control, leading her down a dangerous path.
As the stakes escalate, Aretha faces the real possibility of losing everything she holds dear, including her kids and her freedom. The question becomes whether she can confront her demons and salvage what remains of her life, or if she'll find herself teetering on the edge of a cliff.
This urban romance explores the complexities of love, betrayal, and the unexpected twists that life throws our way. Will Mimi and Dustin's love withstand the storms that threaten to tear them apart? Can Aretha find redemption and pull herself back from the brink? The answers lie at the intersection of these tangled hearts, where the choices made will determine the fates of these intertwined lives.

Enjoyed

I was kinda upset that the story started backwards and ended. Is there a book 2 in the works, I hope it is.
