Most little girls dream of growing up and getting married, having children, and having their dream career, but Rosalyn Kennedy was never a little girl - and all she knew was money. With a mother who glorified finances over peace, Rosalyn runs into adulthood headfirst, believing her pockets were more important than her heart.
Rosalyn is a paid escort who works under the name Paradise, and she never lets her feelings get in the way of a dime, until she meets Ishmael SwaeLee, an unlikely love interest who couldn't care less about what she has for sell and cares more about what her heart has to offer. Ishmael is the perfect mix of gangster and gentleman, who after suffering a loss of his own, finds comfort in Rosalyn's personality and the time he spends with her. If he could only get her to commit, she'd be the perfect woman for him, but Rosalyn has never been in a relationship, and she doesn't know if now is the time to start.
Going in eyes open, or so Ishmael believes, he accepts Rosalyn's past of selling herself to the highest bidder - if only that was her only indiscretion. New levels of happiness come with old levels of misery when the secret Rosalyn has been holding surfaces in physical form. Money can't buy everything, including silence, and Rosalyn's past is screaming louder than ever before. Rosalyn's life as she knows it will be at stake if she can't keep what she buried underground long enough to be the one to tell Ishmael first.
Change is inevitable, but how much can one person really change?
Genre: Romance
