While other junior's in high school are busy getting drunk and turning up, she finds enjoyment in catching up on next weeks assignment at school. She's always had a good head on her shoulders even with all the temptations around her. She's the type of girl who can be breaking down inside, but still look at you and smile. Suddenly a tragedy hits, making her life spiral out of control. To add to the confusion and chaos, she finds herself falling in love. She had always been good at hiding her emotions and convincing people of things until a certain someone comes along who sees the real her. ON HOLD

"You could never love all of me, and I'm sure of that." _____________________________________ In a world of a preference of doing everything but the right thing and being everything that she's not, 26 year old Victoria Marshall is just trying to remain on the right path and be confident in herself. She defies society's expectations by being a full figured, dark skinned woman. When she meets 27 year old Kareem Thompson, the man who had his own issues too, he wants to show her that he is man enough to handle all of her and her enticing curves and sassy attitude. How will Victoria respond? Will she allow herself to believe that he loves her, or will she continue to think that she is better off without someone to love her and push him away? *I own none of the photos used in this book.
