Often everything starts with a simple plan. Yakiesha Simmons had lost her fiancé to corporate spies desperate enough to kill. She could not rest while the next man stepped into her murdered fiancé’s vacancy uniformed and unprepared for the danger that awaited him. It was a simple act of kindness before the arrival of the Christmas holiday. Just let him know his life could be in danger. There are doors that open before our lives. Some remain open and we can pass through them and exit them at the whim of our will. There are other doors that we step through and once having done so, they close behind us never to reopen. Such is the case for Yakiesha. She steps through a door that closes firmly behind her and ends any thought of retreat. The way forward lies through the path of darkness and uncertainty; a path where failure cannot be an option and new love eagerly awaits her permission. Her past love life was not a trip down easy street and now she has a new man who is totally enthralled by her and determined not to be turned away. The new journey Yakiesha faces is no less easy and comes with a whole new set of difficulties piled on top of eminent danger. Love will be tested by the fiercest of fires and their survival is threatened by a merciless enemy. Yakiesha is tough and resilient and she will need all of that and more to navigate the next chapter of her life. Life has dealt her one bad hand and the next one is not looking so good either. Yakiesha brings her top game to the table, but this time even that may not be enough. Pursued by the past, hunted by enemies; faith, courage and a new untested lover accompany her on an odyssey through trial and test as she reaches for the brighter tomorrow we all hope for. Yakiesha rises to the challenge as a tough and tender black woman whose love empowers the man who cannot leave her side.
