For Mahogany Sinclair, it was the night she found her ex’s body: stabbed, still warm, and the bloodied knife in her hand. She hasn’t told the full story. Not to the cops. Not to Xavier. Maybe not even to herself. Now, released on bond and trapped under constant scrutiny, Mahogany is trying to rebuild a life that keeps splintering beneath her. But the questions keep piling up. The evidence keeps twisting. And Xavier, the one man who ever made her feel safe, is slipping further away.

I escaped my ex, but now I’m in prison for his murder. I thought moving to New Orleans would give me a fresh start. A new city, a new job, a chance to reclaim my life after years of being trapped in a relationship with Zane that nearly destroyed me. For the first time in forever, I felt safe. I let my guard down. I landed a new job, and made friends who showed me a brighter side of life. I even met Xavier, dark, handsome, and a saxophone player whose music made my heart race and my fears fade away.

This novel opens up the lives of the first family of a Black-based church. It touches everything you could ever imagine about the good, the bad and the ugly slap in the face truth about church folks. The church folks that think they are perfect because they call themselves Christians will face reality that they aren’t perfect, but judgmental reminders why sinners exist. They also realize they are no better than the sinner that stares them in the face.

They wore the mask of a perfect family… but darkness was always lurking. At the center of it all is Bethel, a bright-eyed little girl trying to find peace in a world full of chaos. The Phillips family is known for their deep faith, powerful prayers, and church presence—but what happens behind closed doors tells a different story. Beneath the Sunday smiles lie years of drug addiction, abuse, deception, and secrets so dark they threaten to destroy everything in their path.
