IN TOO DEEP

For the last two years, Darcelle Trotter has played the role of the perfect supporting act to her partner, Codell Moncrief, an incredibly talented but highly self-absorbed pro-ball player. Outwardly, they are a powerhouse couple; inwardly, Darcelle is starving for a real connection. The breaking point arrives when Codell shows his ass at an event meant to be a career highlight for Darcelle. As Codell’s publicist spends the evening and days to follow putting out fires Codell has selfishly created, Darcelle is shoved into a fast-budding friendship with his best friend, Sheldon Prince— making her realize love can be intense, fast, furious and real; she doesn’t have to be alone in her own relationship.

Deciding she wants a life filled with passionate, unshakable love and self-earned success, Darcelle makes the terrifying choice to walk away. Stripped of the world of orchestrated opportunities, she sets out to rediscover her own power. Along the way, she crosses paths with Seneca St. Francis—another man who sees her, hears her, and values her for exactly who she is. To find her true happy ending, Darcelle must first overcome the manipulative pull of her ex and find the courage to believe that she is worthy of a selfless, deep love—whether that’s with Sheldon or Seneca. The choice will be hers.
