‘Do I want you because you’re wonderful? Or are you wonderful because I want you?’ —Brandy
Carter Chandler shares the same story as many beauties forced to bloom in poverty. She knows the struggles of going without. Possessing a palate accustomed to food bank meals, she’s viewed as a statistic that she doesn’t feel is befitting. Carter is thirty, working more than she should have to, but providing for three children pushes her ambition. However, being a single mother with a plate nearly running over the rim, gives Carter’s oldest the opportunity to drift beyond her sight and puts them both in the pocket of a man she’s known before.
Many men from the trenches of Hughes Pointe can only hope to have the success story Joyner Baskins has experienced. After spending years behind bars, Joyner is adamant on how he wants his life to go once he returns to water his roots. From prison walls to boardrooms, the thirty-six-year-old steps into a lucrative industry and pours into his community what he feels it lacks. Nonetheless, an invasion of privacy and a mutual resolution not only puts Joyner in the position to educate but causes the goon turned gentleman to reassess a story he thought he had mapped out.
