After losing her brother by the hands of her step father, Karie's world changes drastically. She is torn apart from the only one who ever cared about her heart, her best friend Bishop Houston. Though torn apart physically, the two stay in touch. It isn't until she is nineteen that the two reunite. Reuniting with her past proves to be difficult. Ever since she was a child, she had the biggest crush on Bishop's older brother, Elijah. When given the opportunity to confront him about her feelings again, she didn't waste any time, or spare the feelings of the unexpected woman in his life.
