Couples
Preston and his best friend Micah are single, established African American males. Preston is the Vice President of litigation and Micah is the newly appointed CFO at Brookes & Brooks. They’ve known each other since their first year of college at James Madison University and have remained best friends ever since. They each made a vow to treat their bodies as a temple, abstaining from drugs and premarital sex.
Preston has achieved his goals. He now feels it’s time to secure the final steps, as the bible says - his good thing. He’s ready for a bride. He is looking for someone that will possess the qualities of his mother.
Micah already has his good thing in Ariel. He loves her very much and now with this promotion, he can ask her to be his bride.
A surprise night out leads to jealousy, envy, betrayal, uncertainty and quite possibly destruction in everyone's lives.
Inez Reilly’s “Covenant” is a good, quick read. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
