Moving to the rough streets of Harlem is a step back for Lorena after running from her supposedly good life in the suburbs of Miami. She searches for freedom in the most unlikely of places yet in meeting Cross, she couldn't find herself more trapped in the hands of a ruthless thug who is also her brother's best friend. ❝𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁?❞ 𝐍𝐎. 𝟏 - #𝐃𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐓, 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑

Terrence Howard has a good life. He's rich, successful, and doing what he's always wanted to do. Yet with all the fame he could hardly say he was happy. He diddnt know that once he stepped foot in Miami Florida, his life would flip. He discovers a child he never knew he had. Even crazier the mother of said kid was a woman he never thought he'd see again. Taraji. A woman that made him feel things he'd never felt before. He wanted her......no needed her. They say life has a crazy way of doing things. Who knew they would meet again, the same way they met 15 years ago? They were kids back then, but now they were adults. No one knew what lay in store for them but, an electrifying connection with undeniable chemistry. Spelled Trouble for the both of them. There was something there...but did they wanna hop the hurdles of Love?
