Unfamiliar with being loved the right way, she instinctively pushes him away. But Rome is patient, determined to show her that love doesn't have to come with pain.<br>However, even the strongest man has his limits. As Shanice battles the ghosts of her past, will she find the courage to embrace the love standing right in front of her? Or will fear cost her the happiness she never thought she deserved.
