Description
"Surprises aplenty in this highly charged tale of romantic suspense." —Booklist
For a man with a past, the top isn't the safest place to be. . .
Dark secrets and a string of messy affairs haven't stopped self-made millionaire Jamison Jackson from becoming mayor of Atlanta. But while he may have a gorgeous new wife and new alliances, he can't quite escape his past and those who want to see him fail. There's his jilted first wife, a lover he'd rather forget, and a ruthless faction of old guard politicians and power lords who have no problem getting blood on their hands. And the fact that Jamison's ambitious current wife, Val, schemed and blackmailed her way into his arms—despite his mother's not-so-subtle warnings—is far from the least of his problems. Because everyone's got something to gain from Jamison's losses—and as the games begin, more than his career may be at stake.
"Sex, politics, shady characters and plenty of 'mama drama' to be had. A must-read!" —RT Book Reviews

Octavia returns to Atlanta and the characters in His First Wife (2008). The opening scene, in which Mayor Jamison falls to his death from a hotel rooftop, is only the first of many surprising revelations. Octavia flashes back to what led to this crisis, covering Jamison's quick marriage to former assistant Val after her pregnancy is confirmed. When his college friend, Ras, is framed for drugs, Jamison senses a conspiracy. Jamison is also squeezed by a former girlfriend in L.A. who had his child. A growing numbers of enemies and their threats drive him to the top of the hotel. Now, after his death, his ex-wife, Kerry, is raising their son while fending off his evil mother. Val also encounters the dark side of Jamison's mother and goes to Kerry's shelter for women for help. What happens next and the person blamed will have readers anxious for the next book. Octavia skillfully adds dimension and hidden aspects to her characters while offering surprises aplenty in this highly charged tale of romantic suspense.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2013, American Library Association.)
