Yazmeen Franklin is as green as they come. Her only real friend is her older sister, who raised her after their mother died. Because of their father’s poor example, Yazmeen has little trust in men, so dating is foreign to her.

During her sophomore year of college, she lets her guard down and finally gets close to a man. However, he is a known womanizer, and she keeps him in the friend zone to protect her heart.

For Bronx Ravens, being a college basketball star has many advantages, and the one he enjoys most is the access to a plethora of women. He has no immediate plans to settle down with one woman but finds himself falling for Yazmeen, who’d put him in the friend zone. Instead of pressuring her for something more, he plays his position and continues to play the field.

When Bronx signs a professional basketball contract overseas, he and Yazmeen remain close. She pushes the idea of ever having a romantic relationship with him to the back of her mind because their friendship is much more important.

Bronx knows he’s not ready for a serious commitment, so he follows Yazmeen’s lead.

Two years later, Bronx returns to Onyx City to secure the heart of the only woman he’s ever loved but finds that moving from friends to lovers isn’t as easy as he thought. The couple is thrown one obstacle after another, and doubt begins to creep in. Are Yazmeen and Bronx better off as friends, or is the love they share strong enough to last forever?
