Despite how far you go in life, karma is one thing that will definitely come back to haunt you. That was all too true for Mariah Lennox. She wasn’t expecting to fall for a Miami trap king like Troy, but his charm and gift of gab pulled her right in. Just when life began to fall together for Mariah, the past she thought she left behind resurfaced and her world was turned upside down. Will she overcome the circumstances of her past and live the life she deserves or will she live the rest of her life paying the consequences for her own actions? Will love prevail? Find out what happens in the finale of this intriguing, drama filled African American Urban Fiction novella.

It cant be the end ima need to read about them growing up lol

This book did not fail me. It picked up right where it ended.
Shay and Sasha def deserved what they got how you big and bad enough to snitch but scared of the consequences. I loved troy he was everything the way he fought for her to get home and the nerve of the inmate to say what she did was for roze don't wanna give away too much but zarkia you def got you a new reader for life this book was everything and more great work

😍

For starters, Malcolm gonna be a problem! There should be a spinoff with him lol.
Ms Bethany ain’t no joke when it came to Mariah! Too bad her & Mariah didn’t get ahold of Sasha & Shay.
I love how things turned around for Mariah, from how she had it in Pt 1. And Sasha tried to do Shay how she did Mariah in the beginning & was sadly mistaken. Her behind was all bark & literally no bite!
And those store owners know they were dead wrong! Sounds just like the Koreans hair store workers where I’m from. Great book! & I’m so glad Troy didn’t die.

Satisfied Reader

This book was just as good as the first. Even tho monkey wrenches were thrown to break Mariah and Troy up. Their love held so much power and it was inevitable. Sasha and Shay were snitches and Kareem was a bih. Malcolm took matters in his own hands to keep his family safe. Troy was still the man and he deserved his happily ever after with Mariah. GREAT JOB!!!!!

Great Read

Great ending to a great series. Loved it and how everything turned out in the end. Troy really proved himself to and for Mariah and the boys. Mariah definitely was given a second chance on life and found true love with Troy. So glad she was able to move on and find peace and happiness. Hated to see it end, we need some more with the boys, the baby and the wedding. Even though you say it's the end this time. Highly recommend this series and job well done Zarkia.

Thank you

Thanks Zarkia for making this right for Mariah. Sasha and Shay really needed something to happen to them for what they did. Jealousy can really play with the mind. This story speaks of forgiveness. Maria's life changed for the better when she decided to get away from doing the things she use to do. Great job Zarkia!

Christmas with Joy

I loved the ending! It was happy. I was worried the baby would be born in jail and that the caller was going to hurt more than Troy. In the end, everyone got what they deserved and the boys were getting therapy. What a happy ending! Great job, Zarkia!

i loved this ending

So glad Sasha & Shay got their krama. I hated that Malcolm had to kill his dad, but he was protecting his grandma. Troy finally woke up to the sounds of his crying daughter. I would love to read more books by this author bc this series was a good read
