•••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.

After reviving from a tragedy the newlywed Brewsters set out in a new world where East steps away from the drug game upon his daughter's arrival. Kelei warms up to motherhood in the mist of some struggles of her own as East trades in the dope game for the pen.

Nyla Bridges has dedicated her entire life to becoming the best FBI agent the agency has seen. Working twice as hard because she's a woman... a black woman... to show that she is just as capable, if not more, than her predominantly white, male colleagues. After three years in the field she finally lands her opportunity. All she has to do is go undercover and take down New York's biggest drug distributor, Elijah Davis. Sounds simple enough, but it's everything but. She finds her heart and her mind wanting two completely different things and everything is at stake.
