Those are the type of questions my main character Dio is going through but even worse. He and Jennifer have known each other since they were 13 years-old. She was his first love and the only one who ever acted like they gave a damn. She was the only one that understood him and accepted him. Their connection ran deep and he expected her to be in his life forever. But it's funny how two people can take two totally different paths. As Jennifer tried to clean up her life, Dio was going down the wrong path. It wasn't until he landed in prison boot camp and had no other choice but to really look at his life that he realized, how much he needed to do. He promised Jennifer when he got out, he'd be a new man and she in turn promised they'd be back together, maybe have a family, live a life together. But when Dio get out of boot camp, a totally new man, he gets word that Jennifer's getting ready to marry someone else.
So he goes to her church on her wedding day ... with a gun.

About the book
Dio Rodriguez grew up on the streets and knew all too well the hard, cool feeling of the barrel of a gun tucked down the back of his jeans. But his hard exterior softened when he met Jennifer. Jennifer understands Dio like no one else and makes him want to be a better man. Suddenly a drive-by shooting lands Dio in a prison boot camp and sends Jennifer to the hospital. When Dio learns that Jennifer is pregnant, he realizes that he must find a way to turn his life around and return to his lady. But can trainee Rodriguez get his act together among the hardcases in prison? And will Jennifer be waiting for him if and when he does?
