Publisher's Synopsis
Part 1
For some, trust, love, and loyalty is a matter of perspective. To others, it's a way of life...
After a lifelong friendship, Lailani and Simba are finally getting married. They've faced many obstacles together, but right when Lailani thinks everything is calm, they're faced with more problems. A blast from the past threatens to ruin the life they built together and thought they'd always have. Lailani and Simba promised to hold on and never let each other go, but will their loyalty be tested yet again? Exactly how far will they go to protect their peace and their union?
Melanie and Quincy have gone through the storm and rain together, including facing the death of their first child. They were once a couple who had everything and thought they'd be together forever, but trust issues got in the way. Circumstances in life brought them together again, but not as a couple. They seem to have a love-hate thing going on, but is it to only cover the true feelings they still have for each other? Unfortunately, more trust issues arise and it can affect everything, including their ability to participate in Simba and Lailani's wedding together.
Lauren has done well getting her life back on track after overcoming a drug addiction and doing a bid in prison. However, one of her weaknesses has always been making hasty decisions involving relationships. She finds herself struggling with her feelings for Darian and not allowing them to put her back at square one. She's a woman in love, but she also has too much to lose if things go wrong. She's faced with a decision between letting love win or giving in to other people's demands on how she should live her life.
Charisma is a single mother who wants three important things: trust, love, and loyalty. While that's not too much for her to ask, she seems to break the code of all three. She's fortunate to have Vamp step up and help her raise a child that's not his, but she still has feelings for him. In an effort to break up his relationship with Keyani, she hooks up with his enemy, thinking that'll make him come back to her. She has a lot more growing up to do and her friends Lailani, Melanie, and Lauren aren't afraid to let her know that. Will she take heed before she finds herself involved in a dangerous situation?
These four friends have formed an amazing sisterhood, but their drama is thick and their issues with trust, love, and loyalty can impact something they all care about; Simba and Lailani's wedding.
Part 2Loyalty is everything. Betrayal is the ultimate sin...
Simba has to put his life and freedom on the line as he goes on one final mission to find out who crashed his wedding and wants to take him out. He's determined to get to the bottom of things once and for all so he can live at peace with his new wife, Lailani, and their children. Secrets begin to unravel that will not only have him on edge but question the loyalty of everyone around him. Who can he trust?
Quincy is just as determined as Simba to find out who was responsible for wreaking havoc in their lives. Like Simba, he's also begun to look at everyone sideways and doesn't have confidence in anyone's loyalty. Melanie and his cousin, Brandon, warn him about getting involved. Against his better judgment, he does anyway. Before he knows it, things backfire and he's in a fight for his life. Will he be able to protect himself and his family from an unknown enemy?
Vamp and Darian get on board with helping Simba and Quincy, but at the expense of betraying the trust of their loved ones. Keyani becomes suspicious of Vamp as he comes up with lie after lie to cover his involvement. Will she stick around or will she leave? Darian also faces issues with Lauren, but he has even bigger problems of his own. These four friends get caught up in proving their loyalty, but will it be the death of them?
