The Professionals: Deuce (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295643699)

After their wedding debacle, Steve and Black Barbie try to solve the relationship differences by attending marriage counseling. Dr. Nichelle has her hands full with the couple, especially when Tasha's name comes up. A life-changing opportunity presents itself to Black Barbie as she pushes Steve to leave with her to New York, looking to start anew without the threat of Tasha.

Meanwhile, Tasha has a change of heart about her and Steve's promise after spending time alone with him. Taking him from Black Barbie doesn't concern her as much as hidden secrets from her past coming out. She struggles with her emotions, wondering if she and Steve can have a lasting relationship once her secrets are out.

In other Level 3 shenanigans, Malcolm and Bubbles have developed a liking for one another, having a secret affair under the nose of their friends. With the Level 3 team becoming suspicious of the two and Malcolm's wife being very strict with her husband being out of the house, the lovers go to great lengths to keep their affair hidden.
