Chicago drug queenpin, Jade Buchanan, believed she had it all it expensive clothes; lavish homes and custom-made vehicles. From an early age, she knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. She and her best friend, partner, and confidant, Charlie Latham had grown up together watching their street-hustling fathers become legends in the drug game. But Jade also saw her father eventually succumb to the very product he was pushing and in the process lose everything, including his daughter’s respect. Even after graduating from college at the top of her class and despite her parents’ disapproval, Jade believed the drug business was her right of passage and she vowed that she would not meet the same demise as her father. Past traumas and stolen innocence would only serve to fuel the ambitions of this shrewd businesswoman.
While celebrating at her star-studded thirtieth birthday party, Jade meets a handsome stranger. The gentleman is Tracy Caywood, a superstar football player in Miami. The chemistry between them is undeniable and their effortless connection allows Tracy to sweep into Jade’s life like a whirlwind as she quickly finds herself breaking all of her own rules. But will her secrecy and turbulent past bring their budding romance to a halt? Or will Jade find out that Tracy has secrets of his own?
In the meantime, thanks to Charlie’s new love, Shawnee, he has found religion. His newfound walk with God stands to threaten his relationship with Jade as he begins to question his criminal path and lean towards the future he wants with Shawnee. Her best friend is changing and Jade feels like she’s being abandoned by the only person she’s ever fully trusted. Charlie will find himself at a crossroads, however, when he is forced to choose between a promise he made to God and protecting the person who’s always had his back, Jade.
Relationships will be tested, secrets will eventually be revealed and confessions will come to light even from the most unlikely of places. Jade could find herself on a road to redemption and possibly true love, if she doesn’t allow her tormented past to continue to hold her captive.
