Keisha never meant to fall in love with a man who wasn’t hers. Sweet, shy, and too trusting for her own good, she thought she could handle being the “other woman.” Just late-night calls. Just stolen moments. No expectations. No feelings.But feelings were exactly what ruined everything.Dre wasn’t your average small-town hustler. Charming, protective, and dangerously persuasive, he saw something in Keisha long before he ever touched her—something soft, something real. Something he couldn’t get from the woman waiting at home.When their chemistry turns into something neither of them can ignore, Keisha finds herself tangled in a love that was doomed from the start. The secrets get heavier. The lies cut deeper. And being the side chick starts to cost her pieces of herself she never meant to give away.But when the truth explodes and the relationships around Dre fall apart, Keisha is forced to choose: stay the girl in the shadows… or step into the light and claim the love she’s been fighting for.The journey from “side chick” to “main chick” isn’t easy. It’s messy. Painful. Tempting. And full of the kind of passion that can either build a woman—or break her.
