•••Sequel to Black and Blue: The Calm••• It's been nearly four years since Nyla Bridges and Elijah Davis have crossed paths. With their relationship ending in the worst possible way imaginable, the two fight to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives. It's not until something-particularly someone-brings the two scorned lovers face to face that an emotional rollercoaster ensues and the two find themselves caught between giving love another try or letting go for good.

The best part of Nyla Ashton's life was only in her imagination. The only way that she could get through the day was by thinking of him. His lips. His eyes. His smile. She wanted him. The man that she yearned for was not her boyfriend of 3 years. Even after 23 years, Nyla still remembers all of the life-changing events that occurred throughout her childhood into her adolescence. Nyla attempts to get herself as well as the people around her to live a stressfree life although the universe seems to be against her. It was her long time bestfriend, Ace Payne, who was to thank for her reason to keep on going and never giving up. After starting her modelling agency with her brother, Tyson, Nyla assumed that everything around her would fall into place and the future she deserved would be an easy ride. Initially it was.

"A hard pill to swallow." is a statement spoken when something is hard to accept or find reason in; but to Paige her lifestyle is like a second skin. She lives it, feeds it, and breathes it. She could never see herself without that "feminine" touch...coincidentally "natural" feelings take their course and Paige meets an unexpected U-TURN.
