Fredrick "Flex" Towns III found out that the former love of his life has been keeping a 12-year-old secret from him and tracks her down to find out the reasons for her deception. The only thing is, he didn't expect old feelings to resurface once he got there. Saying that he only wants to marry his ex so that he can protect her and do the right thing by his daughter is the easy part. Believing it in the face of his growing feelings turns out to be a little bit more difficult. Can he get over his sense of betrayal and learn to trust again?

The last thing Deidre "Sweet Dee" James wants to do is confront the past, especially when the past is the sexy dark-chocolate man who demands that she do the right thing and become his wife. Just when she thinks she can deal with a fine and irresistible ex who is heavily immersed in the hip-hop lifestyle she no longer wants a part of and a daughter who wants to be the next child rap star, violence from their past explodes back into their lives. Will she be able to keep herself from running away again and stick around to work things out with the man she now knows is the love of her life?
