How can Keisha not be swept off her feet by a tall, dark, handsome " lemon drop wrapped in licorice", who treats her like a woman, not a girl? But suddenly this intoxicating relationship takes a frightening turn, and Keisha is once again plunged into the darkness she's fought so hard to escape. Will Keisha ever be able to find her way back into the light?
