Zac and Fatima Taylor have loved each other since high school. When they become teenage parents to twins, they're forced to grow up fast after both families turn their backs on them. Determined to provide, Zac enters the drug trade, giving Fatima the chance to chase her dream of becoming an attorney while building a better life for their growing family. Just as they leave the streets behind, Zac's past catches up with him. A federal RICO case sends him to prison, leaving Fatima to raise their children, run the family business, and welcome their youngest daughter alone. After five years, Zac returns home to rebuild the life he nearly lost. Together, they must overcome the consequences of the past and discover that their greatest success was never the money-it was the family and love they refused to let go.

Zac thought a romantic trip with his girlfriend Karen would be just what they needed. But he didn't know she had another plan-one that involved collecting on his life insurance policy. When the plan goes wrong and Zac disappears into the wilderness, presumed dead, Karen returns home to spin the story of a tragic accident. But Zac isn't dead. He's found-battered, bruised, and without a memory-by Fatima, a fiercely independent woman who stumbles across him during her morning run on a quiet trail near her home. With no ID, no family coming forward, and no one in the state recognizing him, Fatima makes a bold decision: he'll stay with her until he remembers who he is. As days turn into weeks, a quiet love begins to grow between them. But when Zac's past comes crashing back, they'll both be forced to face the truth: Was what they had real, or just borrowed time?
