After a year of masking childhood traumas with sex, alcohol, and self-destruction, Leesha Roberts is ready to embark on a journey that will break her free from the toxicity that has been holding her back from true love. Eliminating useless lovers is first on the list ...
She bids farewell to the older, irresistible but very married Mike and the younger, eager-to-please Roy, but letting them go is not easy and proves to be more of a detox than a graceful exit. Determined to rebuild herself, Leesha embraces counseling, and even considers confronting her turbulent past with her mother. But just as her self-love journey gains momentum, fate throws a curveball when Francine, a prospective resident at the assistant living facility Leesha manages, introduces her to her grandson, Karl, the embodiment of every woman's desire. Karl seems to be the perfect match, but there's just one thing holding Leesha back-his race.
Clumsily navigating the pitfalls of adulting, Leesha leans on her steadfast friend, Johnathon ... until his own troubles lead him away. Now facing life without his support, Leesha grapples with the risk of falling into yet another toxic relationship. Can she preserve her path to a better life, trusting that history won't repeat itself with Karl? Embrace Leesha's poignant journey of self-discovery, love, and resilience in this spicy Women's Fiction novel.
