Zemira Samuels is publicly revered by many for her wealth of talents. The lyrics she writes express the love contained within the depths of her soul that she longs to fill her heart and warm her bed. She is certain money and fame will never be enough. Kavari Montgomery is suffering through the worst thing imaginable. Watching his marriage fall apart is a devastating blow but unfortunately feelings don’t pay the bills. The only things keeping him grounded are his kids and focusing on building his business.

Rumpled and ragged was not how architect Ari James envisioned kicking off her first day at a new firm.
