The Tangled Web

by Hazel Ro

Almost ten years of marital bliss and every day seemed like a dream with Maria and Malcolm. They had a love others could only hope for, and their lives were close to perfection. They had a mansion-like home, luxury cars, corporate careers, and six-figure bank accounts; they felt like nothing was missing. However, there was one thing that Maria hadn’t been able to give Malcolm all those years . . . a son to continue his legacy.

Although Malcolm tried to act like this never bothered him, deep down it did, and Maria was well aware of it. That’s when she decided to give him the surprise of his life for their anniversary by finding the child he believed he shared with his high school sweetheart, Eva.

After Maria searches high and low, her efforts appear successful, but she’ll soon discover she may have opened a can of worms when Malcolm realizes what she’s done. He can’t deny the feelings he once had for Eva—feelings Eva never let go of—especially after confirming that they share a son.

Malcolm finds himself stuck between the only two women he’s loved in his life. He must make a choice. Yet, that choice never comes when the police show up to inform Maria that there’s been a fatal accident involving her husband. She struggles to decide how to move on without the only man she’s ever loved and his newfound, money-hungry son and his mother. Oh, what a tangled web we weave.

Reviews

[Sheryl Boyce · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed reading this book. Mariah is a little naive when it comes to her husband Malcolm. She believed he could do no wrong until he told her he cheated. Her best friend Crystal wanted to tell her about Malcolm cheating but she couldn't because she was in love with him, had slept with him, and her baby was his child. Eva was the person whom he had been having an affair with the entire time of his marriage. Read the book to find out the craziness that takes place.
