However, depending upon the source, it can also be one of the deadliest. A tainted-venom that once you ingest it, it courses through your veins, suffocating your blood cells until you slowly wither away....” Eboni is young-beautiful and wants one thing more than life itself: to get out of Baltimore and live the life she’s only experienced in her dreams. When she closes her eyes, visions of mansions, designer labels and dollar signs dance in her head. When she opens them all she sees is struggle, broken dreams, and regret. Determined to break the cycle of struggle she’s convinced her mother passed down to her, she formulates a plan that will give her the desires of her heart and a meal-ticket out of the hood. Bryson was 9 years old when he learned the heartbreaking lessons that the journey through life can be brutally-cold and that “family” will shed your blood sometimes faster than a stranger. It was these lessons that made him stronger and helped cultivate him into a charming-streetwise gentleman who believes in hard work and protecting the ones he loves. When a celebration navigates Eboni and Bryson into each other’s paths, the attraction is instant- the lust is undeniable. They find themselves on the fast track to what could possibly be forever. The image of spending the rest of her life with Bryson and being spoiled relentlessly is one that Eboni has proudly painted in her head. However, when the spoils don’t come as quickly as she desires and a successful Boss enters the picture, Eboni finds herself rethinking everything she thought she wanted with Bryson. When the opportunity of a lifetime comes along, Eboni leaves all her “baggage” behind. New beginnings lead to new love and a life that outshines her dreams. Six years later, when a tragedy occurs, she’ll be forced to return to Baltimore and the ghost she left behind. Will her past come back to haunt her? Will the flame she thought was no longer burning, reignite for the man she abandoned? After 6 years, Bryson is a successful-single father, whose main focus is ensuring his daughter lives a happy-stable life filled with love. Unable to shake his feelings for his first love, he keeps the women he meets at a safe and appropriate distance from his heart.
