Love Me If You Dare

Love Me If You Dare

“If there was ever a time to fall in love, I would pick right here, right now, with you.”-Kamon J.<br />Kamon James was your average knucklehead from the streets. Young and unruly, he wasn’t looking to be tamed. With a crackhead for a mother and a pimp/drug dealer for a father, Kamon didn’t know what love was until he met Ma’loni. She was the girl next door and he was the “wannabe” thug, but together, they were a match made in heaven. That is, until secrets tear them apart.<br /><br />Ma’loni is the good girl with a troubled past. Living at home with a mother who didn’t give a damn about her and a father who wasn’t around, Ma’loni was forced to take on the roll as caregiver for herself and her younger siblings. Going away to college was supposed to be the highlight of her life, until the loss of loved ones sends her world crashing apart. With Kamon now out of the picture, it leaves time for a new mystery man to swoop in and snatch her up. Karter was everything she could ever want in a man-except for the fact he wasn’t Kamon. Thinking she had dodged a bullet when she left the gutter streets of Atlanta for the dorm rooms of Howard University, Ma’loni returns to a more chaotic world than before.<br /><br />As the saying goes, “Mo’ money, mo’ problems.” Kamon is no longer the young hothead looking for a come up. He’s now the big man in ATL. With his baby mama by his side and home boys he trusted with his life, Kamon wasn’t worried about anything. Him and his boys Greedy and Santez had the streets on lock, but Kamon finds out the hard way, the streets aren’t your best friend.<br /><br />Not knowing who to trust, Kamon finds comfort in the arms of his first love, Ma’loni. Unintentionally, yet without regret, the two reconcile what they started so many years ago. As they find happiness in each other, past lovers and friends set out to destroy them both. Them against the world, Kamon and Ma’loni aren’t backing down without a fight. Yet, how far will others go to get to them. After all, love does make a person do crazy things.<br />
