“This can’t be life…at least not a life worth living, I thought, asI moved my aching limbs. I’d been in bed for days in immeasurable pain from abroken heart. I was literally past my breaking point and done with this life.How do you keep living when your best friend is brutally murdered and the loveof your life may be responsible? Lying in the dark with nowhere to hide from mythoughts and emotions, I felt alone, betrayed, deceived, hoodwinked,bamboozled, and lead astray! I neededto release the pain by any means necessary.”

When the repressedtraumas of Simone Johnson’s childhood resurface through a recurring dream,secrets are unveiled that explain the negligence of her mother and her deepdistrust of men. The support of her best friends, Stacey and Talise, gives herstrength, but when tragedy strikes, leading Simone into a chasm of darkness,who will be there to help her find her way out?

Simone, Stacey, and Talise areyour typical best friends navigating life. They brush shoulders withentertainment’s elite and experience great successes.

Simone is living an extravagantlifestyle, which some may say has come to her easily. She doesn’t trust men andis willing to remain guarded to protect herself. Even though star NBA player,Deon Bradford – a good guy, looking for a woman to love him for him – has herin his sights, and is making every effort to bring down her guard, Simoneremains distrustful. She feels that she can do without a man's love, until anunsuspecting man comes into her life and shows her what true love is reallylike, but is he who he portrays himself to be or will Deon win her heart?

Talise is the romantic, whodreams of a marriage just like her parents. When she meets a man that she knowsis her soul-mate, but later finds out that they stand on opposite sides ofreligion, will this be a deal breaker?

Stacey is the brother, theshoulder, and the comic relief, but when Stacey falls in love, he falls hard.Will his need to give into his heart cost him the ultimate price?

Once the secrets start tumblingout of the closets and no door is able to contain them, who do you turn to whenyour reality feels like a dream and you are sure that this can’t be life?

Praise and Reviews

This book was SOOOOOOOO GOOD. A real PAGE-TURNER, and an AMAZINGLY written STORYLINE. I felt like I was watching a movie. The way it ended, I know a pt.2 is in the making, and I can't wait. This is my first read by this author, but it definitely won't be my last. AWESOME JOB!!!
