There once was a time when Nia Davenport dreamed of jumping the broom, buying a large house in the burbs, and having a couple of gap-toothed, melanated babies with her childhood crush, Darius Adams. For years, she watched him date every girl but her, hoping one day he’d realize what she already knew: he was her soulmate. Fast forward a decade later, and her feelings have faded along with the memories of the man who crushed her heart in high school–until she finds herself face to face with him in the produce section. 

Darius may be grown, standing at six-foot-two with smooth, butterscotch skin and a smile that could turn any woman’s knees to water, but the mere sound of his voice makes her feel fifteen again. After their chance encounter, she realizes the old saying is true–you never forget your first love. There’s only one thing standing in the way of their second chance: his wife, Lennox. 

Lennox Adams knows exactly who she married, and she has no plans on trading in her diamond ring for a divorce lawyer. The two share more than a child and a few vows. They share years’ worth of secrets that Darius’s affair may push her to leak. Nia soon realizes she’s entangled herself in a gut-wrenching love triangle with her lover’s delusional wife pulling all the strings. As she uncovers more of Darius’s dark past, she’s hit with a revelation so raw that it makes her question if the man she’s been in love with all these years is really who he portrays himself to be. Could his clean-cut exterior and gallant charm be hiding the monster within?
