Monette Victor spent fifteen years in prison for a crime she didn't commit. Now she's free, and making up for stolen time. She's bared her soul in a bestselling tell-all memoir, hosts a hit radio talk show, and has more speaking gigs than she knows what to do with. And she's counseling young black women at risk. Monette's suddenly the hottest sister in the cityโand she's got no time for romance. But here comes Jayson Odum, a self-made businessman and a sweet, black Adonis in overalls. It's all wrong and Monette knows it. His folks are the Huxtables, hers are pure, messed-up 'hood. She's an ex-con, he's so clean he squeaks. Monette's had to stay tough to gain respect, and she can't afford any more mistakes in her life. But she's about to be blindsided by a big dose of bad troubleโand maybe driving Jayson away would be the worst mistake she ever made . . .
