Santana Harris has had her fair share of relationships. She is 25 and trying so hard not to be the bitter friend but love has bit her in the ass too many times. She isn't trying to give anyone the time of day because once she begins to fall, they always let her land flat on her ass.
One drunk night she texts the first ten people in her phone confessions. She soon regrets this decision when the person she least expects to text back does.
Easton Brewster is a single father that is trying to balance his barber shop along with newfound fatherhood. It's a lot harder than he thought it would be but he stepped up to the plate without hesitation once his baby mother, Raegan started moving funny.
When he receives one of the texts, he begins to look at Santana in a whole new light. Ultimately changing the dynamic of their relationship.
Maria thought Mike was everything she wanted when they first got together at 21. He had charm, a little edge, and the kind of confidence that made her feel safe. But three years later, that shine is gone. Mike is controlling, jealous, and only focused on what he wants. Maria feels trapped but stays, scared to let go of what she knows even if it's toxic.
Everything changes the night she crosses paths with him. He isn't a coworker or a friend of a friend he's just there. A stranger who feels familiar. The type who doesn't say much, but when he does, it hits deep. He carries himself with strength, someone who's clearly lived through things but wears it with pride. There's a mystery about him, the kind that makes Maria's heart race in a way Mike never could.
Now Maria is torn. The hood has rules, and leaving Mike isn't just about breaking up it's about risking her safety, her reputation, maybe even her future. But the more she tastes freedom, the more she realizes she can't keep living in fear.
