Carried Away

After eight years with her husband, Shalaine Brunson has reached her breaking point. Without a job, she knows her exit has to be strategic. However, before she can leave on her own, the decision is made for her. One traumatic event is all it takes for Shalaine to realize that the person she was married to wasn't who she thought he was. Becoming a single mother overnight is far from easy, but that's not the worst of the curveballs that are thrown at Shalaine. One of the changes in her life consists of moving to a less than desirable neighborhood. At first glance, her neighbors are far from her first choice, but are they as bad as she thinks?

When Simone Trent became pregnant at fifteen, she wanted nothing to do with being a mother. From the moment Truce was born, his grandparents were his parental figures. With an absent father and a deadbeat mother, Truce can't help but to have abandonment issues. For that very reason, he doesn't like to get close to people. Despite his trauma, Truce was raised right, and when he sees that his grandfather's new neighbor needs help, he doesn't hesitate. Trent soon finds out that Shalaine has him rethinking his hesitancy to become attached to people. They are both hesitant to act on their growing attraction to one another but soon, fighting it might not be possible.

Contains mature themes.
