Fabian Adefemi Afolami suffers from depression, anxiety and a series of addictions. He struggles to come to terms with his father's terminal illness and the contingency that he could very well be his only living successor. It's too much burden for him. He has to once again discard his aspirations to prove his love to his father. With these responsibilities on his shoulders, he strives to find the balance. But his world comes to a standstill when his past comes back to goad him again. After the passing of her mother, Zemira realises she now has the sole accountability of catering to her brother's need. But a secondary school certificate, dreadlocks, piercings and conspicuous ink isn't much qualification. She discards her musical aspirations and takes to the streets for the hustle and bustle even if it means she has to do it like the men. She tries to remain true to herself while weathering the storm but her razor sharp tongue is what will plunge her into trouble with a very dangerous man. This is Fabian's story; a spinoff from Rugged To The Core. You do not have read Rugged To The Core to understand this.

She didn't fall, she was pushed. Let me explain more, yeah? She was pushed, by her best friends, into a guy- but not just any guy. Cyrus Angelo, the infamous Cyrus Angelo. Maverly Perkins is full of witty comebacks, a loud laugh, and has a fierce attitude. Love doesn't come easy to her but does it to anyone? Just as Maverly is giving up on guys, due to a past experience with a jerk, she's pushed into something she doesn't want to get involved with, literally. No, not something- more like someone; Cyrus Angelo to be exact. But somethings different about him; her usual witty and sarcastic comments become stutters and nervous babbling. What is this feeling in the pit of her stomach? A crush? Love? Of course not. Cyrus Angelo- those are the two words that make guys run and girls swoon. No one talks to him, threatens him, touches him, or talks back to him. The last time any one of these things happened; someone ended up in a hospital for 6 weeks in the intensive care unit. But what happens when Maverly breaks all those rules... within a 2 minute period? After a promise to 'see her later,' too many awkward moments to count, crazy parties where a few people get drunk and tell their life story in full detail, funny experiences of falling, failing, and fighting, terrible flirting, and stupid games of truth or dare- Who knows what could happen? And to think it all started with a push. --- THIS COVER WAS MADE BY A FAN.
