Zay Briggs spent years in the cold world of corporate before he realized he wasn’t happy. He searches for a purpose more fulfilling than the heavy family legacy he was born to uphold. A accidental collision at his stepmother’s gala introduces him to Kali.
Kali is a woman whose deep chocolate skin and framed glasses command an authority that stops him in his tracks. While Zay is used to effortless charm, Kali sees nothing but an arrogant "lil' brother" with a questionable haircut.
But Zay is his father’s son. He doesn't see a woman defined by her age, he sees a masterpiece he is determined to win, and he has no intention of taking "no" for an answer.
Kali is a powerhouse who has finally reached her limit with the toxic cycles and "crumbs" of her past relationship with Mazi. Between managing the daily operations of a women’s shelter and soothing her three-year-old son, Bennie, she has zero patience for Zay.
However, as they co-plan a wellness center, she realizes Zay isn't just a corporate runaway; he is a man with a "spark" who sees her strength as an invitation rather than an intimidation.
Together, they must navigate a web of secrets and broken promises to realize that while they started at different chapters, they are finally ready to write a future that belongs only to them.
