Single parent Bethann Woods was determined to make a better life for herself and her son Trevaun. She had lost his father to the street life, and that absolutely could not happen to her baby. Beth had sworn that she would not be a product of her environment, yet every door she tried to open slammed in her face. Their little cramped apartment, located on the sixth floor of the sixteen-story project, was filled with gourmet cookbooks and travel brochures to faraway places. Now, just months short of graduating with her master's degree and the promise of a brighter future, the gangs were recruiting her baby, and she would do whatever she needed to keep him safe. Then out of nowhere, a guardian angel appeared, and life as they knew it would never be the same. Although she and Trevaun were able to adapt quickly to their new surroundings, they were not accepted by everyone. Her nemesis believed that she was taking his parents for a ride, and he was going to make sure that did not happen. Beth had handled much worse than what some sexy, gorgeous, rich guy could possibly throw her way. Then, blindsided by her past, Beth had to face the ultimate battle a life-or-death struggle for survival.
