Publisher's Synopsis
**********DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A RE-RELEASE**********
Egypt Marcel is a dedicated and caring nurse who enjoys her job at a children's hospital in Houston. From the outside looking in, you'd think she had it all with an amazing career, fabulous condo, her own cash and vehicle. Truthfully though, her life would be perfect if it wasn't for her freeloading, disrespectful boyfriend Shareef Thomas. Shareef lacks the drive and ambition that Egypt possesses and is extremely comfortable allowing her to provide for him. All is cool in his eyes, but what he doesn't know is that Egypt is beyond tired of him. Working dead-end jobs for a temp agency seems to be as good as Shareef is going to give. Ultimately, she would like nothing more than to be done with Shareef for good, but something keeps stopping her from completely walking away. Despite the fact that Egypt knows her man is using her, she still stays. That is, until a tragedy brings her face to face with the handsome Bacardi Martin. The vibe between the two is almost instant, but her patient is more important than any feelings she seems to have for the father. However, Bacardi isn't giving up that easily on Egypt. Although his daughter requires his full attention, he still finds a way to let Egypt know that he's interested. When she finally gets fed up with Shareef and his trifling ways, Bacardi is right there to lend her a shoulder and a spare room. Once the romantic chemistry between the two is confirmed, there's no stopping their hearts from yearning for each other. BUT, that also doesn't stop Shareef from pursuing Egypt.
