Cynnamon quickly finds out that the visitors of Jessop Hotel come with a boat load of issues that are way out of her job description.  When her father's salary can't cover their bills, Cynnamon is forced to stay working at Jessop despite her want to leave. She tries to get her money and keep a low profile but that becomes impossible when she unintentionally catches the eye of Judah Jessop, the son of the hotel owner Mr. Bigg Jessop. Known to be a player, big spender and surrounded by alleged rumors of his outside involvement in the local underground scene, Cynnamon is dragged into Judah's unstable life kicking and screaming.

With her dreams so close, Cynnamon can't afford to bail out on her new job but with the sudden drama that's erupted in her life can she fight the black hole of the ghetto or will she be just another product of the hood?

This is a Curvy Community Romance: #DISCLOSURE #CelebrateBlackStories #Curvy #EyesLipsFierce "What other people hold onto in their tiny brains about black women is none of my concern," she tells herself. No matter what the salesman thinks, the young woman refuses to allow anyone to diminish who she is. At least, she hasn't allowed anyone to wield that kind of power over her since she stopped wearing pigtails. Striving for success in a man's world sets the dark-skinned businesswoman on a path to overcome the misguided notions of those who show more concern for the color of her skin without equally considering her ability to execute a contract with the finesse of a highly skilled surgeon. Africa is a beautiful boss babe who never fails to teach those who offend her a lesson about never judging a book by its cover. ----------------- "Why can't you spend more time with them?" "I told you this isn't the kind of life I want for myself." "But they're your kids too." "I don't have time for this." Once again his wife stormed off without a concern in the world for her family, and once again, he was left to explain to their children why they wouldn't see their mother after she promised she would take them on one of her infamous excursions. Israel had once assured himself that if he was a faithful husband, diligent family man, successful business owner, and dutiful son, he would live the life of his dreams. For his efforts, Israel knows all too well the hurt experienced when the person you love doesn't love you back. Not every woman can handle being treated like a queen. Learning such a harsh lesson the hard way makes him wonder if any good women still exist. Can anyone truly appreciate the beautiful boss babe also known as Africa? Will Israel continue down the path of heartbreak as he struggles to hold his family together? Are they destined to struggle against all the societal odds that insist it is impossible to find TRUE BLACK LOVE?
