When white businessman, Robert, rejected black artist, Nia, years ago, he had no idea the impact it would have on both their lives. Aisha was heartbroken when Marcus turned her down, and she eventually moved away to pursue her art career.
Years later, Nia returns to town to take a job at Robert's company. Though she's hesitant to work with the man who broke her heart, she knows she needs this job to get her career on track.
As they begin to work together, Robert is surprised to find that he's still attracted to Nia. But he's unsure if he can ever make up for his past mistakes, especially as he struggles to overcome his own prejudices.
Meanwhile, Nia is torn between her lingering feelings for Robert and her fear of getting hurt again, especially as she faces discrimination and microaggressions in the workplace.
As they navigate their complicated feelings and the challenges of an interracial relationship, they realize that they both have a lot to learn about love, trust, and forgiveness. But with a little bit of patience and a lot of communication, they just might be able to find their way back to each other.

Did he misunderstand me for someone else? "How dare you push me? Do you even know who I am?" He asked, angrily. "Don't give me that shit of 'Do you know who I am?' I know who you are, but how dare you kiss me without my permission?" I spat back. My statement fueled his anger, and now he was extremely furious. He had his hand balled into a fist. He slowly came closer to me and stopped just inches from me. "You lousy mouse. You are nothing but a slut. Do you hear me? You are.a.slut!" he whispered into my ear from my back, holding both of my hands tightly. I could no longer take it, as I was beyond furious at this point. I punched him hard on his handsome face, and the side of his lips started bleeding. Serves him better! And that was how Lara and Shane met. They weren't opposites. They weren't alike either.
