What if you finally meet the perfect guy who treats you the way you want to be treated but the catch is that he can leave town at any time, and even worse, he has a dark secret?
Rebellious, web developer Kema Ekwueme is nursing a broken heart. A year ago, the man she loved, cast her heart to the ground and stomped on it. Now, here she is, at thirty, a virgin and alone. But Kema is waiting for his return.
Meanwhile, she dreams of a life like in the movies were heroes always defeat the bad guys.
And when she hears of terrible incidents in her former school: the death of a young female student and the arrest of another student, she thrusts herself into the investigation.
In the process, she meets Oliver Constantino. Tall, green-eyed and white-skinned. Staring at her like she's the first woman he's seen in years. He's co-owner of Olympus Security and his best friend and business partner, Steven Braithwaite, is uncle to the accused young girl.
Together, Kema and Oliver delve into the case and uncover a covert gang specializing in pimping out underage girls in the school.
Thrown together by the case, the intense attraction between Kema and Oliver grows and explodes.
But Oliver is not ready for anything serious with a new woman; his focus is on caring for his eight year old daughter, Lisa, abandoned by her mother, his ex. He also has plans to return to the States soon.
And most of all, he has a secret. One that would surely ruin any relationship with her.
Kema is all for commitment; a relationship with someone stable. That's why she saved herself. So nothing can happen between her and Oliver. He's a foreigner, a man with an unknown past...
But the heat between them doesn't seem to care one whit about the obstacles. Oliver and Kema find it harder and harder to resist its pull.
And just as Oliver realizes he has feelings for Kema, her ex waltzes back into her life.
Kema is confused. Should she go back to him or move forward with Oliver?
Her elder brothers remind her that she doesn't know much about Oliver. And it's true; she has no clue about Oliver's dark past.
All Oliver can do is pray she never finds out about his past sins. Because if she were ever to learn the truth of what happened, any chance of their being together would be destroyed.
