Publisher's Synopsis
When twenty-eight-year-old Zaire Isaac meets the captivating Jetaime Harrell on a week-long cruise, neither of them is prepared for the sparks that fly. What begins as a chance encounter quickly turns into a whirlwind of passion and connection. But when the ship docks, they go their separate ways, thinking they'll never see each other again.
For Zaire, the cruise was a brief escape from the chaos his life had become. Joining the Navy right after high school helped him leave behind the criminal life of his youth, but a devastating turn of events forces him back to his hometown-and dangerously close to the streets he once swore to leave behind. Jetaime, freshly out of an eight-year relationship, is focused on starting over. Raising two children that aren't her own and stepping into her dream job as a nurse, she doesn't have time-or trust-for love. But when fate brings her and Zaire back together, their connection proves impossible to ignore. As their love deepens, Jetaime's jealous ex refuses to let go, threatening not only her safety but the stability Zaire has worked so hard to build. Now, Zaire must confront the dangerous world he left behind, risking everything to protect the woman who has become his kryptonite. Will their love be strong enough to overcome the ghosts of Zaire's past and the dangers of Jetaime's present? Or will the streets claim him once again-this time for good?
