Kimberly Graham is a successful lawyer and a single mother to her eight-year-old son, Sam. The brown-skinned beauty had it hard growing up but had now reached a point in her life where she was satisfied with the way things were.

The history between them was passion-filled and abusive. From Colton's numerous affairs to an escalated fight that landed her in the hospital, it's easy to see why she'd rather keep her distance. Although sharing a child makes the perfect bridge for him to slither is way back into her life, Kimberly was a different woman then, but after all these years on her own, her heart is well guarded.
