In this, Urban anthology darling Meisha Camm's first solo title, the thorny subject of abusive and controlling relationships is thoughtfully addressed. Alexis Gibb is addicted to a controlling man, Jared Simmons. Jared has never given her anything but empty promises and broken commitments. At least now he's finally being honest with her, though; he's broken the news he intends to have another girlfriend and have Alexis be his mistress. Will she have the courage to leave him, or will she take up his terrible offer simply because being with him is familiar to her?
