The Gritty Truth
Synopsis
Recovering addict Quincy Gritt has fought his demons and won. He has confessed to his crimes, conquered his addictions, and is finally ready to pursue Veronica 'Roni' Wescott, the gorgeous, guarded brunette who won a date with him at a charity auction months ago and has been putting him off, and driving him wild, ever since. Roni clawed her way out of the seedy neighborhood where she was raised and danced all the way to Juilliard, only to have her dreams shattered in the blink of an eye. Quincy pulls out every stop to prove that the friendship growing between them is only the beginning of something far deeper, and slowly the walls come down. Romantic nights give way to smoldering passion and a bond too strong to deny. But when Quincy's past resurfaces and threatens everything he has rebuilt, he and Roni must decide whether they can accept their new, gritty truth together, or whether the darkness will pull him back under and cost him the future he fought so hard to earn.
