The rampant divorce rate in her family has left her with commitmentphobia, causing her to turn down the marriage proposal of her boyfriend of two years. Over a year later, while meeting with her BFF Tonya Savoy, she receives an invitation to his wedding.

His personal life is a different story, having traveled around the world for his work only to come home to a cheating wife.

Through Tonya\u2019s powers of persuasion and pushing the family loyalty envelope, guess who winds up as the reluctant photographer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Blake first lays eyes on voluptuous, stacked, curvy Justice, it\u2019s desire at first sight. When Justice sees hot, handsome, manly Blake, her body aches from a year of doing without. Will Blake overcome his trust issues brought on by betrayal? Will Justice lay her commitment issues to rest?
