Having a baby at sixteen had never been how I imagined my life. But I wouldn't trade my daughter for anything. Five years later, things are finally starting to fall into place for us. Until a ruthless gang war begins in my neighborhood and puts Maisie and me in danger.

My best friend's brother, a man fifteen years older than me, offers to protect us. The more time we spend together, the more I discover Pablo is everything I yearn for. My daughter loves him, and I can't help myself from falling for him, too.

He thinks he's too old for me. How can I convince him that love knows no age?
