Lyra Hart, a teacher's assistant working her way through college, lives a simple life. Her sister Natalie is a constant reminder that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. After a lifelong trail of arrests and stints in rehab, Natalie lands on her sister's doorstep with a promise not to end up like their mother who overdosed just a few years prior. Lyra's first mistake was trusting her younger sister. Her second was the one-night stand she thought would drown her sorrows.
Jevaughn Graham lives life by his own rules. He's made quite a living for himself, but it's nothing compared to the life he could lead if he could only get in on the family business.

When he reveals that he's engaged, Jevaughn wins his grandfather's favor and the chance to finally get a seat at the table. There's only one thing missing… his fiancée.
