Summary

Broken, disillusioned, shattered. This wasn’t the life they dreamed of, the promises they were given when they said I do. India, Kierre, and LaTavia aren’t looking through those rose colored glasses anymore. Lives in shambles, marriages barely existing even on life support, the best friends gather the wagons trying to navigate where they all go from here.

India loves Chief, but he obviously doesn’t love her back. Not like he perpetrated when he finessed her into giving up her life, career, and future to be his wife, mother to his children. Overnight she seemed to become old news with him ready to move to someone younger, sexier, thinner and less of a drain on his youth. Kicking herself for being unprepared for his treachery and betrayal, she scrambles to grasp onto the nearest life preserver determined not to drown.

Kierre never thought she would hear the words Grayson said to her. The hatred in his voice. The anger in his eyes. He knew her past when they linked up. She never hid any part of the sordid history, yet here they were, him accusing her of destroying his life. The victim; he put her on trial and found her guilty without thought. One thing about Kierre, she could and would hold her own. It was time to make her plans, take her child, and live her own life.

LaTavia couldn’t seem to escape the quicksand of her present existence. Needing Glen to be her strength, he was missing in action both literally and figuratively. Their love life always top notch, her husband spends most days avoiding her. Promoted at her job, it becomes more burden than blessing with Jordan popping up at will showing no signs of letting her off the hook for the money she still owes him. Deciding she has to talk to Glen sooner rather than later, LaTavia makes a desperate ploy, consequences be damned.

With every odd stacked against them and the situations seemingly worsening, our couples have their work cut out for them. Anything worth having is worth fighting for, isn’t it?
