About this listen
Reason defied the odds.
She climbed the ladder of success despite being a black woman from one of Chicago's most notorious neighborhoods. Her professional life shines brightly as an emergency room physician. But her love life is in shambles. After divorcing her controlling, narcissistic husband, she's only encountered men who are just like him, who are intimidated by her success. But as soon as she gives up on love, she meets Lake, a single father with a checkered past who oozes swag and dominance.
Lake and Reason's lives collide in a heart-stopping encounter when Lake becomes Reason's unlikely savior. Destiny intertwines their paths, sparking an instant and intense connection that neither of them saw coming.
However, their budding romance is swiftly threatened by crippling external forces. Reason finds herself trapped in a web of manipulation as her ex-husband continues his attempts to destroy her. Shocking revelations from Lake's past and disloyalty shatter his relationships with those he trusted. As his world crumbles, he fights to rebuild the shattered pieces of his life. Yet, amidst the chaos consuming their lives, Lake and Reason cling to their love for one another.
Just when Lake and Reason believe they can overcome the challenges, tragedy strikes both of them with devastating force. Their lives are thrown into disarray, and their budding romance hangs in the balance.

But with all the women Jahi can have due to his good looks, money, and status, the one woman he can't get over is Greer.
