In the golden age of Hollywood, Jameson Hart is America's sweetheart-a dashing, blue-eyed film star with golden hair, a killer smile, and the leading man in every woman's fantasy. But the only woman who has ever truly had his heart is Clara Hart-his radiant, devoted wife. A graceful, brilliant Black woman with a warm laugh and a sharp intuition, Clara is the anchor of their quiet life at home with their 3-year-old son, David. While the tabloids speculate on co-star romances and secret scandals, Jameson remains the picture-perfect family man, attending red carpets by night and making pancakes for Clara and David in the mornings. But their picture-perfect world begins to crack when tragedy strikes the silver screen. One by one, the leading ladies of Jameson's recent films are found murdered-each discovered in their dressing rooms with a single, eerie calling card: a set prop from the film they starred in with Jameson. A perfume bottle, a bloodied script, a broken vanity mirror. The scenes are staged with obsessive detail. The city is in a panic. Whispers circle. Reporters flock. Suspicion sharpens. And Jameson Hart is the prime suspect. Though the public begins to doubt him, Clara never does. Not for a moment. Fiercely loyal and quietly brilliant, Clara begins her own quiet investigation alongside the police detective assigned to the case. Her instincts tell her that someone is watching them. That the killer is playing a game-a dangerous script leading to a final scene. The murders grow closer to home. The clues are more theatrical. Clara discovers a chilling pattern in the killer's timing and realizes the next victim is already marked.

Deen and Paislee Vanilla and chocolate Day and night. Hot and cold Colored | White "You know we could never get married, you just flipped your lid. We would be a closet case." "Why couldn't we get our rings, babydoll?" His green eyes danced with confusion as he stroked my cheek softly. "Because you're white and well, I'm a negro. Everyone knows whites and blacks don't bash, that's just how it goes unless you like death. So marriage, that's-that's an odd ball, Deen." ° ° ° Nothing could go wrong in the busy town of Jackson, Mississippi, for everything was splendid. Absolutely splendid. Except for the occasional riots, or lynching of innocent colored girls, the heads hanged in the city square, or the burning cross' across the street from houses. The ear wrenching screams heard from dark alleys, the glares from men as you walked into "their" diner, going through the back doors at movie theaters, or standing on the bus after a day's long of work. This was all nothing to Paislee Miller, for she was your typical colored girl in the eye of the beholder. Living in Jackson all her life had brought her many things that she wouldn't trade in the world, even the constant racism and hate that flowed through the city's air. That is until she meets Deen Rivera. He was nothing far from perfect if you asked, and everything grand. As Deen and Paislee cross paths many times she starts realizing that her solid heart was starting to open up for this green-eyed, winsome country boy. As for Deen, well he fell in love the minute he casted an eye to her. After that, he couldn't stop seeing her, touching her, loving her. Even if that meant breaking a 'WHITES ONLY' sign, it would all be worth it. Hopefully. . . Catch 22 © 2018 RyChristina
