SYNOPSIS:
 
Royce “Turk” Atkins has always been about two things:
 
 
His brothers
Autumn Shaw

Where people understand his loyalty to Set, Nut, and Shad, few people understand why he won’t leave Autumn alone. From his family, to his friends, to the rest of the city, no one can figure out what it is about the beauty that has had him hooked for two decades, how he convinced her to have his son, or why he refuses to seriously entertain anyone else when she’s had a serious girlfriend, Patience, for years.

Turk doesn't believe in explaining himself to anyone, though. Especially when some days, he doesn’t quite understand the hold she has on him, either. And when he starts seeing the consequences of a wild night with Autumn and Patience months prior, he’s left even more confused.

He’s spent years teasing Patience, overstepping boundaries, and fighting and bickering over his place in Autumn’s life, but when she needs help, he steps into the role of her protector without prompting. When secrets and danger begin to lurk around every corner, Turk finds himself moving for her how he previously only moved for Autumn. Lines begin to blur, and everything Turk thought he knew about love and relationships is forever changed.

His loyalty has never been tested like this before. Lies and half-truths are exposed, and Turk must choose between the family he’s created as a boy with his gang, and the one he’s creating as a man. And when Patience’s past finally catches up to her, the surprising connection between Turk and Patience that’s revealed may be their salvation, or everyone’s downfall.
