Romance Contemporary
The only kind of home beautiful seventeen-year-old Laila,
abandoned at birth, knows is her group home in Miami,
Florida. And the only escape she can think of is the money
she secretly earns by stripping at a local nightclub.
Sometimes she even works the crowd after her routine, to
make extra cash. But the night she meets David DuBois, it
seems her life is about to change for the better. Young, attractive, and successful, David appears unfazed
by Laila’s powers of seduction. But as they talk, he finds
himself moved by her vulnerability—and intrigued by what
they have in common: both were raised without mothers,
David’s having died in childbirth. Soon, David finds
himself falling for Laila, though he waits until her
eighteenth birthday to act on his feelings—and move Laila
into his home. At last, Laila feels loved and secure. But
she quickly discovers she is far from safe. For the man
she loves is also filled with rage. Four years into their relationship, Laila can no longer
take the beatings—or hide her scars, both physical and
emotional. When she is offered a chance to start over in
another city, she courageously takes it and finds herself
not only facing a new future—but confronted with the truth
of her past, and the mother she never knew. And that is
just the beginning, as all of Laila’s relationships, old
and new—and all her choices, good and bad—lead her home in
a way she could never have imagined.
