Analicia Chase at one point had it all, a great family and a loving, talented boyfriend. But with the death of her father coming shortly after the loss of her boyfriend's dream, along with his usual tenacity, and a recently developed strained relationship with her sister, things have been rough. They only worsen when a stranger comes into her life, throwing it completely off course. With everything around Analicia crumbling by the day, defeat begins to consume her.

That is, until she's given an offer she can't refuse … but should. When she steps up to the plate, entering a world unfamiliar to her, it threatens everything she thought she knew and wanted out of life. But when life gives you lemons, sugar, and even the pitcher, you'd be a fool to not make lemonade. However, when jealous, tireless, traitorous exes are thrown into the recipe, said lemonade can turn sour quickly.

Bashar Compton, the handsome, intelligent lawyer with thug appeal has always known two things: that he would become a criminal defense attorney and that he would spend the rest of his life with his high school sweetheart and baby's mother, Nixi Andrews. But when Nixi pulls an inconceivable stunt, he is fed up.

Having sacrificed his peace, desires, sanity, and even sometimes his loved ones for the better part of fifteen years, Bashar decides to do something he never thought his heart or mind could fathom … force his once-upon-a-time true love to get right or get lost. This is a lot of change for a man who has had the blueprint for his life drawn up since he was a kid, and when a beautiful, sane woman comes into his life by happenstance, it makes things even more difficult. But what Bashar doesn't realize is that Nixi isn't ready to give up, and is willing to do whatever is needed to rekindle with the one man she knows she can't live without. The same man who has no doubt loved her through all of her antics and irrationalities. And in her defense, her baby daddy has always given in to her.

In this romance filled with love, unquestionable chemistry, and a healthy dose of insurmountable betrayal, Analicia, Bashar, Nixi, and a few others find out what happens when you take the path of most resistance to find happiness.
