Synopsis
Once a money-making, rump-shaking teen prostitute, Moore Young has fought tooth and nail to escape her seedy past. Now an adult, she’s built a new life for herself, channeling her energy into Moore Raw Designs. Battling Tourette’s Syndrome and Imposter Syndrome, Moore doesn’t trust love—especially when her heart has failed her before. Enter Amerigo Graziano , a chef and restaurateur with challenges of his own but a mission to win Moore’s unwavering love. After a passionate night together, Amerigo is determined to make her his, but his ex-wife and daughter ignite the wrong kind of fire, threatening to destroy everything he’s building with Moore. Just as Moore is on the brink of achieving her dreams—thanks to a coveted opportunity with a major TV network—her past comes crashing back. Lamont, the ruthless pimp she escaped from fifteen years ago, resurfaces, threatening to shatter her hard-won peace. Under the weight of secrets and unspoken truths, Moore and Amerigo must bridge the growing chasm between them. But external forces are conspiring to pull them apart, and trust is hanging by a fragile thread. Can love survive in the shadows of their fears and insecurities? Or will the past extinguish their chance at happiness for good?
