Worth The Risk

Malik "Ghost" Carter spent six years in prison learning to be a better man. Now he's home, working at the community center and trying to prove that people can really change. But the streets don't forget, and old enemies are waiting for him to slip.

Janelle Price owns the neighborhood salon and trusts her own judgment above all else. She's watched too many women fall for men who promise change but never deliver. When the infamous ex-con starts showing up outside her shop, she's not buying what he's selling.

But when they both step up to help Marcus and DeShea-teenage siblings trying to survive on their own-everything changes. Suddenly Malik and Janelle find themselves fighting the same battles: protecting the kids they've come to love, building something real in a neighborhood that tears dreams apart, and learning to trust each other with hearts that have been broken too many times before.
