The night Army Specialist Merlin Mills's identical twin brother, Gavin, slept with his wife, everything changed. Now Merlin must come to grips with the fact that Cojo may be carrying his brother's child. For Gina Meadows, Merlin's mother, it's a brutal reminder of the dysfunction that has always plagued her family. Tension escalates when Gina pops up pregnant after a night of drunken revelry, and an icy finger points to her deviant son as the father. The drama that ensues forces them all to take stock of their lives.
Hurt, angry, and confused, Merlin is caught up in a complex struggle between yesterday and today; between a mistress who wants to give him real love and a wife who doesn't know how; between nasty lies and secrets and their life-altering revelations. In his struggle to mend a marriage that is as fragile as a cobweb, Merlin learns that the past, present, and future are tangled in a knot that he can never unravel.
"Absorbing. Pupil-dilating. Utterly consuming. Better check your pulse after this one. Tina Brooks Mckinney serves up a multilayered family scandal that is sure to take your breath away."
