A meteoric rise to mediocrity in Hollywood not only forces Kyla Winters to return home to St. Louis, but it also shakes her confidence in all areas of her life — particularly her desire to rekindle the torch she still carries for the man who proposed to her three years ago after a whirlwind six-week affair.

Dr. Zweli Randall is more in love with Kyla now than he was when she shot down his proposal. When she unexpectedly moves back to St. Louis, he can see that she's nursing a wound that won't heal, one that makes it impossible for her to believe that he truly loves her.

With an army of sisters and brothers-in-law taking sides and launching strategic assaults, Sunday dinner at the Winters house becomes the battleground on which Kyla and Zweli fight for mutual surrender... or mutual annihilation.
