As an investigative news reporter in New York City, Destiny uncovers breaking stories every day, but she has yet to uncover the truth of her own life―until the morning she discovers a strand of red hair on her husband's pillow.
Unfortunately, the only person Destiny knows with red hair is her best friend, Eve. Amid two personal tragedies and a shocking story of deceit, Destiny is sent plunging into a nightmarish depression that prompts her to flee back to her roots on Topsail Island, North Carolina―first with her husband and then by herself with the hope of healing her heart and piecing her life back together after their marriage unravels.
But when fate keeps leading her back to the island's handsome police chief, Chase McKenzie, Destiny soon realizes that her racially-charged past has risen up to meet a more progressive present and opened the door for a second chance at first love.
Now only one question remains: is this the right time for both of them?
In this contemporary romance, a heartbroken journalist embarks on a journey of self-discovery where she must overcome her personal pain and find tranquility before she can realize true love.

Testimonial #2
If you want to reinvent yourself, Rolonda, is your go-to woman! I’ve known this fabulous woman since we were freshman in high school, and we became best friends. I’ve been amazed at the way she thinks outside the box and creates a vision and reality for herself that has always inspired others to be their best selves. Her positive can-do attitude casts aside any nay-sayers. She is a life-long learner who reaches into her depths so she can utilize her full potential. She always said in high school that she was going to be famous—and I’ve watched her do just that time and time again! She has been a positive influence to so many people from all walks of life for so many years. She’s the real deal! Rolonda has a way of tapping into the mind body spirit connection that makes her influence impactful and long-lasting. There’s no stopping Rolonda, and I am confident she can help you tap into and live into your dreams too!

I would just like to say on behalf of myself and the Cultural Proficiency Institute for Educators, we were very moved by her presentation and the compassion she showed towards others. She brought my team such great inspiration and confidence to know that they can overcome anything that comes their way.
