Back to Life — Shantae

Join this close knit group as they block bitter exes, confront fake friends, and tackle fears of the unknown all while experiencing true love on a whole new level. Talented author Dakota Bibbs has deemed herself unlucky in love and only dreams of one day experiencing a connection with a man similar to ones she writes about in her novels. After ending a tumultuous five year relationship, Dakota decides to focus only on herself and her blossoming business for the time being. Love would just have to wait. Besides dealing with her worrisome ex Montell, things are going well for her. Then on cue, Giannis Williams enters her life. A boss in his own right, Giannis possesses just the right amount of hood, a double dose of sexy, with a dash of crazy. He would be her perfect match if she were looking but allowing her heart time to heal was her priority. Giannis, however, is persistent by nature and doesn't plan to let up until he has Dakota by his side. Breelyn Waiters seems to have found herself in the same boat as her cousin Dakota and is attempting to get her life back after weaning herself off her most painful addiction. David Parrish. After being away for an entire year, Breelyn returns to Dallas to reunite with her family and plans to steer clear of the man she used to think would own her heart forever. Boy was she wrong that. DeMario Taylor is proof positive that David is no longer the only man her heart will beat for. Their protector, Elijah ‘Rah' Waiters, is a complicated man with a demeanor only those close to him can understand. One could do many things to him but coming for his family wasn't one of them, his girls in particular. Entering a new phase in life, Rah senses something is missing and is contemplating letting love in for the first time but something is holding him back.
