The man who was supposed to love and protect her, after the passing of her mother, flipped the switch and made her his enemy.

No one knows how to approach her without her panicking except for Tierra’s cousin, Law. Lawson Fletcher Changing his life for his family, Law steps away from the streets and produces two legal businesses: Garden Kisses for his mother, and Lawfully Brewed for himself. For years, his family and businesses have been his focus, but after he meets Blossom, it’s like love at first sight. The yearning to love and protect her grows heavier with each encounter they have. Just when he finally breaks down the walls she has built, the unthinkable happens. Life for them both changes in the blink of an eye, tearing them apart.
