Learn moreWhen Regina Burns married Blue Hamilton, she knew he was no ordinary man. Regina enjoyed a circle of engaging friends and her own work as communications consultant, but she especially relished the company of her husband, who never ceased to be a source of passion and delight.
Then everything changes. Frightened women are showing up in West End, seeking Blue's protection from lovers who have suddenly become violent. When the worst offenders begin to disappear, the speculation seems to implicate Blue and his long-time associates. Now that Regina is pregnant, her fears for Blue's safety have become an obsession that threatens the heart of their relationship.

Reviews
“Cleage’s novel is an exciting, fast-moving thriller where events happen at such breathtaking speed that it’s easy to pull a muscle in your eagerness to turn the pages. The stories intersect, spawning misunderstandings, deceptions, betrayals, broken promises and double crosses. It’s all great fun, like riding a runaway train and not knowing where you’re going to end up.”
“Cleage’s voice is pleasant and her narration smooth.”
“The reader is engrossed to the end.”
“Cleage gives great detail and background. Those things, plus the characters, intensify the story, capturing an in-depth snapshot of political blackmail, true love, and the art of being true to self.”
