Nina Wilkerson had a strategic plan for her life. She was following in the footsteps of her parents by becoming a physician and will eventually start a private practice. So far, everything had gone according to her plan, until she met and fell head over heels for the rapper, Mecca Watson.

Like Nina, Mecca Watson was solely focused on his music, and providing for his mother and little sister, Mariah. Falling in love was the last thing he wanted to do, especially at such a pivotal point in his career, but once he fell for Nina, his priorities shifted.

What started as a summer affair led to Nina and Mecca falling into a relationship neither were prepared for. A year later, and they were still trying to find balance within their work and personal lives. With work, family, and school consuming their time; the one thing that seems to keep them grounded is their love for one another.

But was love enough?

When it seems everything and everyone is pulling them apart, will the undeniable bond they share be enough to keep them together?

Note:This is novel is a follow-up to New Year Kiss: a short story but it can be read as a standalone.
