Dawnika Pritcher had the worst of luck. Her boyfriend died, and to make that matter worse, she was left to raise their child alone. He grew ill with cancer, and could no longer function without medication. She lost her job because she couldn't stay at work for more than a few hours. Stuck, bare footed and forced to walk on broken glass, she was forced to look for other means. Her friend Olivia was sweet as any Southern belle could be, but her choices were often misdirected.

Isaiah Kane, CEO of Quote Core, had always had his eye on the beautiful Dawnika throughout high school. He was jealous of her boyfriend, and more so hated him. After moving away for college, and becoming a successful, playboy, billionaire, he has found his way back to the hauntingly beautiful Dawnika. Though he seeks to help her, he refuses to show her his vulnerability. He will do everything that it takes to take the weight of the world off of her shoulders, even if it means risking his company throne for the beauty.
