After witnessing her father's death in a drive-by shooting in Atlanta, Nia Carter, a 24 year old fashion major with big dreams, loses her spark. Grief, anger, and city noise become too much. Her mother sends her to spend time in her grandmother's quiet farmhouse in Willow Creek, a small farming town that feels like another planet.
There, Nia meets Malik Turner, a 27-year-old farmer and mechanic who carries his own scars his brother was killed years ago in the same kind of violence Nia is running from.
As Nia learns to breathe again among open skies and wildflowers, Malik helps her find her strength but healing isn't easy. The city still calls her name, and the pain she's buried threatens to destroy what could be the truest love she's ever known.

To This Day
When Sydney Sherwood was thirteen, she fell in love. She was utterly enamoured with Carter Pearson - the cute, enigmatic, brilliant fourteen year old who lived across the street. But, after only a few months, Carter and his family disappeared, leaving behind a 'House For Sale' sign and one broken-hearted girl. Six years later, Sydney is beginning a year abroad at Yale University, over 3000 miles from her home in England. A chance at a blank slate, a leap into the unknown. That is, until she stumbles across Carter himself in line at a campus coffee shop. They're half the world away from where they met and just as far from the people they used to be. But sometimes, it seems, the universe has a plan of its own. And for Sydney and Carter, that means their story isn't over yet, whether they like it or not.

After killing her abusive ex in self-defense, Nia Carter, a quiet, emotionally scarred young woman from Atlanta, is sentenced to 7 years in a women's prison. Lost, afraid, and broken, she meets King, a dominant, charismatic stud serving 25 to life for a street murder. King runs the block and has the respect of guards and inmates alike. From the moment King sees Nia, she's drawn to her vulnerability, her beauty, and her silence. She becomes her protector, fighting off threats and making sure nobody touches her.
