| About the Book
Veronica “Nikki" Jones is a young beautiful
sister and soon-to-be college grad. At the age of 16, she ran away
from an abusive and alcoholic father, and relocated to Atlanta to
begin a new life. However, after the death of her father, she learns
of the birth of her baby sister, MiKayla, and prepares to take on
the unexpected task of single parenthood. On another front, a chance
encounter with Kevin Maddox results in hot pursuit. She’s teasingly
interested but remains secretive about her personal life. Though
leery, after several months of dating, she finally opens up, and
reveals her true self, and with it comes undeniable love for her new
man. But after a spontaneous breakup, her world is shattered. She
suspects Kevin’s proclaimed love for her was nothing short of a
bold-faced lie, an attempt to get her into his bed; and she
reassesses her life to permanently exclude him. Kevin is a charming,
handsome, and successful young black businessman. After a failed
engagement, he has spent several years in meaningless relationships,
sleeping with dozens of women, but has now renewed his stance with
God. He finds himself in the same path as Nikki one day, and is
instantly drawn to her by a single selfless act. He sets out to get
to know her, but her objections to seeing him are many. Her
apprehension is short-lived, and he convinces her to love him. But
his unconscious mistrust of women and Nikki’s presumed skepticism
about their relationship lead him to break it off with her. Yet he
soon realizes that Nikki has forever changed him, and obtaining her
love again proves to be the ultimate task. |
