Deja A'riyah Brown is a woman who knows exactly who she is. In her late 30s, she's confident, loving, and comfortable in her own skin. A beautiful plus-size woman with a soft heart and a strong mind, she's spent years learning her worth. She doesn't chase attention, she doesn't entertain childish games, and she definitely isn't interested in raising a grown man. Her life is peaceful, steady, and built on self-respect. So the last thing she expects is to cross paths with someone like him. At only 22 years old, Elifér Josué Etienne, better known in the streets as "Choppo," is everything she stays away from. A Haitian street boy with money in his pockets, confidence in his walk, and trouble following close behind him. The streets know his name, women know his charm, and commitment is something he's never taken seriously. Funny, bold, and dangerously smooth, he's used to getting whatever-and whoever-he wants. But Deja isn't impressed. She's older, wiser, and far too grounded to be caught up in the lifestyle of a young man who lives fast and loves even faster. To her, Choppo is just another boy who hasn't figured life out yet. But something about Deja A'riyah Brown is different. For the first time, his jokes don't shake her. His money doesn't move her. And his charm? It barely scratches the surface. What started as two people from completely different worlds colliding slowly turns into something neither of them expected. Because sometimes the one person you swear you'd never fall for... becomes the one person who changes everything. And this time, the streets might not be strong enough to pull Choppo away.
