Jacael lived for the excitement of being independent and not having to depend on anybody to do anything for her. With her tomboyish yet shy ways, she kept her circle small. Men were never an interest of hers because she always focused on school and made sure she was the best that she could be. Always finding herself clashing with her mother about her sexuality, Jacael had enough and decided to stand up for herself. She was ready for bigger and better things. Dating, surprisingly, became one of those things. It wasn't dating that was her problem; it was the person she chose to date.
With Cuba, what you saw was what you got. In his eyes, being a boss was his true calling. Big on respect, disobeying or disrespecting him could lead you to an early grave. This was no secret. Jacael was the only person who didn't understand the assignment. Small in stature, she carried a big bite and an even bigger attitude. Growing tired of the disrespect, he was determined to put her in her place. His only problem was that Jacael's brother was his best friend and business partner. How would he be able to make her fall in line without tarnishing his relationship with her brother? One final attempt to make her give him the respect he felt he deserved placed them in an uncanny predicament. One that no one ever saw coming.
Jasiah (Sire) was Jacael's brother. He'd walk through the ends of the earth for her. Heavy in the streets, he didn't have time for love or any other unnecessary drama. He lived by the motto of "mind the business that pays you." If it didn't involve him or his money, he wasn't touching it. Women flocked to him. None of whom he was intrigued with. After hurting the wrong woman, he constantly found himself in unexpected situations that forced him to make some life-changing decisions. Will those decisions make or break him?
Arabia was Jacael's best friend. Determined to prove to everyone that she was good enough, Arabia did any and everything that she could to make her presence known. Tired of going from man to man, she sets her eyes on one man. When that man turns her down, she doesn't know how to react. Used to getting her way, she is motivated now, more than ever, to show him that whatever Arabia wants, Arabia gets, no matter the cost. Her "I don't care" attitude is one for the books and one that could lead her to an early demise.
Unforeseen circumstances force these characters to do the unthinkable. New love, hidden agendas, the fight for survival, and the desire for happiness all surface as drama unfolds. Who will come out on top? Fall in love with this new crew as you enjoy the first installment of Crushin' On The Boss Next Door.
