Meet the Pierce family. Desmond Pierce, a hardworking man from the South, is determined to give his and wife and daughters a good life in Compton, California. Pearla Pierce is a sexy and seductive mother who plays wifey and devoted mother only when her husband is home. Then there’s Carmen, a promiscuous 17-year-old on a self-destructive path and jealous of her younger sister. Cashmere, a 13-year-old, struggles to hold her family together out of love for her father.

Romeo had high hopes of flourishing from his illegal but prosperous business. He never bargained for falling in love unexpectedly along the way. Shayla was everything he was not; the total opposite of hard-edged and callous. And while Romeo was the bad boy her mama had warned her about, she still loved him despite his many flaws. All odds were stacked against them, especially considering their blatant differences.
