After being hit in a drive by shooting that killed his older brother Gil; Jackson finishes school and drags himself up and out of the ghetto building a successful singing career and a thriving music label. He meets Lila when she is brought in by his business partner to fill a catering job at the last minute. Lila's spunky, no-filter way of spilling everything she is thinking, and curvy figure are too much for him to resist. He is instantly drawn in and can't get enough of her. Lila is driven and focused, building her small catering business from the ground up and having a blast in the process. Having grown up with five brothers she has always been the best friend type and doesn't see herself as dating material, especially for the incredibly hot and successful man who in private is a gentleman whose chuckle makes her knees weak and in public belts out rap lyrics that make her cringe. Can they resist the efforts of those around them to break the spell? Will naked women, kidnapping attempts, arson, and attempted murder crush their steamy love? Will Lila end up broken, scarred, and alone as her parents' fear or will Jackson have his way with love as he always has with business and make Lila his forever?
