The story is about a woman name Taylor Jackson who is married to a bad boy Devin Jackson who still trying to find his place in his father’s company.

His brother Kelly is Taylor’s best friend from high school and college and he is always getting little brother out of trouble. She confides in Kelly about everything and one night they unlock the doors from their past that Devin is not aware of. That one night unlocks feelings that Kelly has always had. It’s filled with drama and twists that will have you fall in and out of love with Devin, Taylor, and Kelly.

I have wanted to write my first novel for at least three years. I use to write short stories back in high school and college. My dream of being a writer got deferred when I became a mother. But then a year and half ago, I started blogging and that pushed me to share my stories.
