Book Description
"I feel like the girl at the bar who’s been there too much, can’t stand up. "--Elle Varner A wise person once said that the problem with revenge is that it never evens the score; it ties both the injured and the injurer to an escalator of pain. Both are stuck on the escalator as long as parity is demanded, and the escalator never stops. Jahfar “Game” Gambino is the definition of humble and low-key. His main goal is to provide for his family while maintaining his lucrative career as a gaming creator. But even with his wealth and accomplishments, there is something that makes him toss and turn at night. Game has been going through his life harboring a hideous secret that could drive away the truest love that he has ever known. Misty Blue lost her innocence at the tender age of eleven when she when was brutally attacked and witnessed the slaying of her mother. Abandoned by her father, the man who promised that he would never leave, Misty was then bounced around different foster homes. Unfortunately, her bad hand didn’t stop there as she ended up succumbing to homelessness. Broken, empty, and simply tired of fighting, she meets the captivating Game. Although she has been let down by men all her life, she decides to take a chance on him hoping that she has outrun all of her bad days. Once their two worlds collide, they endure the many emotions of the non-stop escalator called love, and neither of them are willing to get off. In this cat and mouse tale of crazy love, unspoken truths and unremedied rue, Misty and Game are forced to confront one another’s pasts, learning that the old law about an eye for an eye almost always leaves everybody blind.
