The Perfect Verse

Kaleela Bradshaw never thought she’d find love again, if she ever found it at all. Being a former gang member, bound by a wheelchair, she fought each day in search of sobriety, redemption, and most of all, peace. That comes with making amends with the man she once tried to kill. That felt impossible until Solomon “Scooter” Black inserted himself into her life.

Solomon “Scooter” Black, up-and-coming deejay and beatmaker, has his sights on taking care of his family and doing what he always loved to do—make music. That is, until Kaleela seeks forgiveness, using him as a vehicle to heal old wounds.

What she doesn’t expect is a pursuit filled with patience and a connection she never knew was coming. Haunted by guilt and feelings of inadequacy, Kaleela pushes the idea of love away. Not easily swayed, Scooter is determined to prove that even broken hearts can heal. What he doesn’t factor in is how his own unfinished business could shake their already fragile foundation.

Will Kaleela face her fears and embrace the love Scooter offers, or will her faith be shattered when he proves to be someone she can’t trust?
