Porter: My cheating girlfriend. Porter: My bills. Porter: My nosy mama. Porter: Sex. Winona: My lazy ex. Winona: My career. Winona: My judgmental father. Winona: Dating. A serious relationship isn't the main thing on Porter Washington's mind. At least not after he leaves his girlfriend when he learns her baby isn't his. Who needs it? He's a fine Detroit firefighter, and women practically throw themselves at him. But something's missing in his life. Something that will take a near-fatal beating for Porter to find ... The mother of two children by different men, Winona Fairchild has made more than her share of mistakes in life-a fact her father never lets her forget. But now she's coming home from Texas to try to get things right. She's got a great new job, her own house, a fledgling Tiger Woods in her son-and a devastating secret that could destroy it all. It's a small world-even in a city as big as Detroit. Can their pain and regret fade into the past and their futures look as bright as day?
