Sereia Wilson grew up in the trenches—in a housing project popularly known as The Woods. There she lived with her big brother, Demetrius. For almost ten years its just been the two of them. With their mother being deceased and their father serving a life sentence behind prison walls. Demetrius, as the main provider, does whatever necessary to keep a roof over him and his sister’s head. However, life takes a traumatic turn for the worst changing life as Sereia’s known it, forever.

Exodus Christ grew up in conditions completely opposite of Sereia. He might not have been raised in the projects, but he’s no stranger to the hood. As the eldest son of Pastor Isaiah Christ, his name carried weight throughout the treacherous streets of Brickhaven, MI. With a reputation rooted in faith, respect, and legacy. But after his father’s death, everything shifted. The same love that once surrounded the Christ family turned into fear, and Exodus found himself at the center of it all. Leading his brothers, making decisions that blurred the line between right and wrong, and carrying responsibilities that came at a cost.

In the wake of tragedy, two completely different worlds collide. Bound by loss and pulled together by forces neither of them fully understand, their paths begin to cross in ways that shift everything.

Countess would have never guessed that a one-night stand would lead to her being able to experience the kind of love that comes once in a lifetime. All a woman truly wants from a man is time and to be loved how we desire and deserve. To have every inch of your body catered to and worshipped down to your soul.
Countess is the epitome of a beautiful soul. She comes from money but stands on her own two feet as an independent woman. She takes a different path from what her parents expected. She knows that she is a walking prize and finds her worth by deciding to walk away from a long-term relationship that she had with Karim.
The past and present collides when she finds herself smitten with Hansum. The question is, will she accept her future with a man who loves her completely naked, inside out…or will she go back to the past with a man who loves her partially?
