Thrust into kidnapping, double cross and murder, Paul must choose between a relationship with Janine and staying alive long enough to change the course of his future. Read on…
Sherryn Allbright is wife, mother and
successful business woman. But her life turns
topsy-turvy when a woman leaves a child on her doorstep,
claiming her husband is the father. Denial is useless,
for the boy resembles Reece too closely not to be his
offspring. She blames Reece’s predicament on his
misguided attitude. If he’d sever ties in Waterhouse -
a Kingston ghetto – he wouldn’t be a victim of baby mama
drama.
Though Sherryn falls in love with the unwanted child, a rift develops between her children and their father. To complicate matters, Reece is accused of murder, and further upheaval rocks the family. Can this couple come to terms with their inadequacies and the underlying problems in their eighteen-year relationship? Will their children understand and forgive their father’s transgression? Will Reece escape a murder charge? Find out more…
