Pearl Jackson only has one mission, keeping her life in order, but her brother, Vernon, seems hell-bent on destroying it. She cooks, cleans and does everything to keep their family afloat. When she finds out they're close to losing their home, Vernon disappears, leaving Pearl to figure it all out.

Alfred Harris is Vernon's best friend and partner-in-crime. They work, drink, and party together, but Al has dreams of his own which means he'll have to put all the carousing aside to focus. When Vernon disappears, he steps in to help Pearl with an idea that will save them both. Unfortunately, he can't stop noticing her smile or the curve of her backside.

Will they be able to withstand their attraction to each other or will Pearl become more than...

Her Brother's Keeper?
