Best friends Charlotte and Janine have serious problems with their love lives. Charlotte's husband, the flashy preacher Curtis Black, may keep her living in luxury, but his book tours and evangelism mean he's never home. Charlotte's sure he's cheating and even hires a PI to follow him, but she's been known to have indiscretions herself.
Her twelve-year-old Matthew is another man's son and she suspects troubled five-year-old Marissa, whom she swore was Curtis' child, might be the result of a tryst with a schizophrenic. Her friend Janine, a college professor, also is worried her boyfriend Antonio is cheating on her and getting heavily into drug dealing. She kicks him out but Antonio won't take no for an answer.

"Talk about drama. I mean the book starts off with lying, deceit, deception, and betrayal. Absolutely an excellent series. I only wish I started reading this from the begining. I think this is the 2nd to last one in the series. But I will back track and read the first 3 books. "

“Through Roby’s true-to-life plot, multidimensional characters, and focus on some really tough scenarios, it’s clear that secrets and lies often result in pain and heartache. Her ninth title is another wonderful addition to the series…A fast-paced story, easily read in one sitting.”
— RT Book Reviews“This latest potboiler from the author of Changing Faces keeps the scandals coming…Plenty of action.”
