Sometimes you have to lose everything you thought you knew just to find who you really are."
Growing up wasn't a fairy tale for Maya. Between navigating complicated family dynamics, carrying the heavy grief of losing her brother, and recovering from a bitter betrayal by her closest friend, she learned to put up walls. Working late nights behind a busy bar, serving drinks to strangers was easy-maintaining her own peace was the real battle.
Add in a toxic relationship with an ex who takes her for granted, and Maya reaches her absolute breaking point. But when she finally gathers the strength to step away, an unexpected encounter with someone who truly respects, values, and desires her changes everything.
A raw, steamy, and emotional Jamaican drama about family, heartbreak, betrayal, and finding a passion that feels like home.

If he would just stop staring, I could get on with my life and my time here. So what if we've met before? He can continue to ignore me as he has been. I can do the same with no problem. None at all. I just... I want him to look away. I need him to. So I can breathe.
