How do you love when no one has ever shown you how?
Nailah James is a social worker who has settled down in Dallas, TX after a life of city hopping and instability. Her mother left her when she was four, her father left her when she was ten, and her foster mother left her when she was sixteen. Because of her past, Nailah has never had a steady friend or lover. Opting to be alone, rather than hurt again, she purposely avoids long term relationships. 

Tyriq Lewis is a doctor with an overbearing family that always has an opinion about his life. After a college knee injury, Tyriq’s chance to play basketball professionally is over, along with his first serious relationship. Years later, Tyriq had almost given up on ever getting over his ex, and was resigned to living out his bachelor lifestyle forever. 

When Tyriq saves Nailah from a wayward surprise blind date, and the two find a common interest, emotions run high and fast. Nailah literally runs away from Tyriq leaving the bachelor wanting more and gearing up for a chase. 
Tyriq is ready to make Nailah his only one when small-town scandals find their way to the big city and cause huge problems. 

Being apart isn’t as easy as Tyriq thought, and he soon learns that ‘ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone’.
Having a loving family and a forever partner is the ultimate goal as the two battle their emotions, ex-lovers, the media, and their pasts to build a future together.
