Jerome James-Panton is a well-known, highly sought after landscaper. He is co-CEO of Panton Scaping along with his brother Mehki. After graduating from Morehouse College, he married Melina Blackstone. They divorce after failed attempts of her making it through rehab. The divorce was hard on the both of them, but Jerome moved on, so he thought. Carter Malone is Houston's number one celebrity lawyer. She graduated from Spelman and then moved back to Houston to attend and graduate from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. Her life seems perfect from the outside looking in, but she's holding a deep darks secret that almost gets her killed. Jerome hires Carter to help him win a custody battle with his ex-wife of a child he never knew existed. But one thing leads to another and they both make decisions that they will later regret. What happens when promises are broken, and love isn't enough to mend them?
This book was a little hard to read because of some of the subject matter. I enjoyed Jerome and Carter's love story. I especially love how she came out winning in the end.
