After moving to Chicago to start a new life, Sveya isn't looking for nothing beyond a fresh start. Between church, school, and learning how to exist without losing herself, her life feels limited...until she meets Solomon.

Nyla Monroe Brooks was just a girl from Clayton County with a dream and a talent for hair. Nasir Vaughn was Harlem's biggest rap star. Their worlds were never supposed to collide. But when sparks fly between the soft-spoken salon owner and the dangerously protective rapper, love grows faster than either of them expected. Fame. Drama. Jealous enemies. And a baby girl that changes everything. Through it all, one thing becomes clear...

The words rolled off his tongue like he'd been waiting to say them, and God, the way he said it almost made me melt right there.
