Publisher's Synopsis
Being raised by her grandmother was the best thing that could happen to Saleema. After being abandoned by her mother for a man, Saleema grew to solely depend on her grandmother's love and advice to carry her through life's journey. But, growing up in a poverty-stricken area, even with Nana's help, is hard. Following a small but memorable criminal offense, Saleema is left to serve her sentence through community service where she crosses paths with Kemichael "ATL" Flint, a luxury car dealership owner who is instantly taken with her nonchalant attitude and rude demeanor. He finds out everything he can about Saleema, which only deepens his interest.
Instead of listening to Nana about men with fast money and controlling tendencies, something Saleema cannot see, she rushes into a relationship with Kemichael, not knowing underneath his dress clothes and expensive cologne lies a true monster. However, she's too far into the relationship to back out, and she's given birth to his son, Kemichael Junior. After a string of violent outbursts and controlling episodes, Saleema has had enough. She flees her upscale Philadelphia home in hopes of returning to Nana, but the doors she calls her forever home are now closed to her, and Saleema is on the run.
