Don't count on forever. Beautiful and educated, with just enough Atlanta street smarts to give her a sexy edge, pre-school teacher Eden Brooks has a dream life. Her high school sweetheart-turned-husband Jerrico makes it complete. As a homicide detective, Jerrico's devoted to keeping her safe. But seductive new detective Yasmary Ortega is one danger Eden never saw coming. And when Jerrico shocks Eden by leaving her, more than hearts are at stake. Soon Eden's only solace is a man as different from Jerrico as night and day. Never say never. Marcellus Knight has finally found his way in the world—as the sniper for a notorious crime family. The fact that his latest target, Jerrico, happens to have a gorgeous, heartbroken wife who needs comforting, is just a lucky perk. Jerrico doesn't plan on falling for her. And he doesn't plan on her figuring out the game. But things don't always go as planned. And soon, all hell will break loose, loyalties will be torn, and the tension between love, desire, and a thirst for revenge will converge at a fateful crossroads.
