About this series
Driven by lies and pure deception, Nahima, almost sweet 16, is on the fast track to self-destruction. The frequent letters and jailhouse phone calls from Jay only fuel her anger. The radical teenager lashes out at those who truly love her and are concerned about her well-being, including her mother, Venus. Even her innocent baby brother, Jalen, is a victim of her wrath.
Nahima is romantically involved with a much older man named Santana, who has introduced her to a world of sex, drugs, and manipulation. God seems to have turned a deaf ear to Aunt Jackie's desperate prayers on behalf of her wayward great-niece, but Uncle Zach prefers the no-nonsense approach of tough love and forced accountability.
With Jay inside her head, Nahima is about to make the biggest mistake of her life, unless someone steps in to save her from herself. Is it too late to pull her back to safety and serve her a healthy dose of reality? Who will save her from the sins of her mother?

Blood isn't always thicker than water, especially in matters concerning love, lust, and passion. Family ties no longer bind the once close King siblings, Zach and Jay. Their desire for the same woman transforms them from loving brother and sister to bitter arch rivals. Jamaican beauty Jillian Bessette is Jay's lover, but Zach's uncontrollable yearning to have her overpowers him, causing him to commit the ultimate act of betrayal against his flesh and blood. For his sin, Jay orders a hit on her brother, but her plan for revenge backfires, and she is exposed. Her only way to avoid justice is to flee. In exile, Jay's hatred and resentment for Zach and Jill consumes her every waking moment. Their new life together includes a baby boy, the product of their forbidden affair, and adds more fuel to the growing fire of hatred growing inside Jay. While she longs for the day of vengeance against them, they bask in the beauty of love and happiness, but precious moments are cut short, overshadowed by the sins of their past. Zach is forced to send Jill and their son away to the one place he believes they'll be safe from Jay and her threats to settle the score. To the contrary, he unknowingly delivers Jill right into Jay's hands. The two former lovers come face to face, and Jill's nightmare begins. Helpless, Zach must place his faith in the heroics of others in a race against time to rescue Jill from the torturous clutches of a woman who is bitter and vexed!

Two years of confinement in Leesworth Women's Federal Corrections Facility have taken their toll on Jay King. Her incarceration has given her lots of time to think about her sins, especially her failed attempt to have her brother Zach murdered in cold blood. Jay has come face to face with the demons from her past, and her health is on the decline. Lonely, sick, and depressed, she reaches out to an unlikely source for help. Jay finds guidance and compassion in Pastor Gavin Monroe, the prison chaplain and counselor. He teaches her about forgiveness and restoration and sets her on the path of righteous living. But is Jay sincere about turning her life around, or is her newfound jailhouse religion just a scheme to get back into Zach's good graces? Thrilled by Jay's spiritual transformation, Pastor Monroe is eager to nurture her budding faith. The bond they develop through scriptures and counseling sessions takes an unexpected turn, and life as they once knew it will never be the same. Jay's secret life in prison has an earth-shattering effect on her family, and Zach is once again expected to clean up her mess. Only this time, it involves precious, innocent flesh and blood. Zach has an important decision to make, one that will affect the entire King family and others. Only time will tell if Jay's faith in her brother will move him to do the right thing.
