Zay's sisters, anxiously awaiting their brother's return, connect Zay's calls to Karrington since he is unable to call her directly, but his sisters know very little about her and are wary of her intentions.

Jaden still lives in Dia's small town. Jaden wants to rekindle his friendship with Cyrus, but Dia has no intention of letting that happen and wants to set some boundaries.

He tends to fall hard, fast, and didn't hesitate when he met Hilary, an incarcerated former actress and model, while working as a supervisor in the prison's janitorial program. Charlie proposed after just three months with a makeshift ring crafted from string, but their whirlwind romance came at a cost: once their feelings were exposed, both were fired. Hilary plans to move in with Charlie after her release - that is, until another tempting option is presented by her ex-husband and his boat in sunny Florida. Caught between two men, two lifestyles and a brand-new belief system as a born-again Christian committed to sobriety, Hilary must decide: will she choose faith and a fresh start or be tempted back to the glitz and freedom of her past?
