A year ago, Azania Wyatt did what she thought was impossible: she loved fearlessly. She met a man who saw beneath the façade, who somehow peeled away her layers to reveal her true self, and loved her for it. But his love was not without a price. For he was her high school principal, brother to her late godfather, who was her father's best friend. Oh, did I mention he was married?
The wife is now the ex-wife, awaiting trial for Azania's assault. Things are starting to look up for them, they are finally free to be together. But will they make it across the finish line, to finish the race their thieving hearts started in his office many months ago?

Azania swallows hard as she steps out of the car, her heart beating ferociously in her throat. She had laid awake all night long, unable to settle the butterflies in her stomach as her thoughts raced, wondering what it was going to be like.
