All he has to do is keep his \"stuff\" in the past. Real men don't have depression and go to therapy--or, at least they don't admit it. He's ready to focus on his growing chain of barbershops, take care of his beloved Detroit community, and get back to being the ladies' man his family and friends tease him for being. It'll be easy . . . until Vanessa throws him completely off his game. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVanessa Noble is too busy building a multimillion-dollar tech career as a Black woman before age thirty to be distracted by a \u003ci\u003erelationship. \u003c\/i\u003eNot to mention, she's been burned before, still dealing with the lingering hurt of a past breakup. Besides, as her friends often remind her, she'll never find a man who checks all the boxes on her famous List. Yet when she desperately needs a shape-up and happens upon one of Khalil's barbershops, the Fade, he makes her reconsider everything. Khalil is charming, intelligent, sexy, and definitely seems like he'd treat a woman right . . . but he's not Black. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVanessa may be willing to take a chance on Khalil, but a part of him is frustratingly closed off, just out of her reach.
