Sweet Surrender

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be someone else? Sonya Elise Thompson knows exactly how that feels. She's known her entire life that something isn't right with her. As early as the age of four years old, Sonya has had an explosive temperament that had gone undiagnosed for over twenty years. Her amazing good looks help her get away with a lot and causes men, in particular, to dismiss her questionable behaviors. When she meets her family and learns about her biological mother's irrational decisions, she eventually seeks medical attention, but not before wreaking havoc in the lives of everyone she knows. Sonya gets stability through medication and family support. However, when she meets Kai, who's ten years her junior, she decides to keep her explosive past and current diagnosis under wraps. Can Sonya keep the façade going to keep Kai around?

After being taken in by his half-sister at the age of fifteen, Kai had to survive the best way he knew how. His sister's live-in boyfriend, Trey, turns him on to the drug scene, and he's been hooked to the thug life ever since.

Her alluring personality and gorgeous looks pull him in. Will he allow Sonya to penetrate his rough exterior and invade his heart?

Toxicity at its best, Sonya and Kai's relationship still seems to function just fine for them until it doesn't. When things plummet, they really plummet, leaving Kai with tough decisions to make. His biggest concern is hoping he makes the right one.
