The Love He Tried to Buy Back

After a tragic loss, Lee turns a private hobby into Love-Lee Nails, building the business through grief, hard work, and her determination to have something of her own.

That life collapses when her longtime boyfriend, JB, hides drugs in the shop without her knowledge.

Faced with prison, she makes the foolish choice to protect him out of love and loyalty.

Years later she is finally free, and JB tries to make up for the time she lost by throwing money at her and calling it love.

Five years have changed Lee, and she is beginning to see that loyalty does not require sacrificing herself.

Then she meets Van, a man in her neighborhood who is nothing like JB, and an unexpected friendship becomes harder to ignore, leaving her between the past she has long stayed loyal to and a future she never knew she wanted.
