SEQUEL TO THE ART OF MANIPULATION Jonika thought the bullet ended everything-his empire, his hold on her heart, and the man she loved but was forced to betray. She tried to rebuild, to bury the grief under the illusion of a normal life. But grief doesn't stay buried. It claws. It festers. And some ghosts don't stay dead. When fate drags Jonika back into the shadows she thought she'd escaped, she finds herself hunted by the very man she once destroyed. His face is the same, his eyes colder, his love and fury tangled into something she can't escape. Now she doesn't know if he has returned to reclaim her heart... or claim her life.

It's been some time since Xander King was arrested in the middle of Greater New Hope Church. One minute, everybody was sitting in service, watching Bishop King preach like everything was normal. The next minute, the feds came walking through the doors and snatched Xander right in front of the whole church. After that day, nothing was ever the same.

And the King family? They are nowhere near the perfect family people thought they were. Bishop King's secrets have shaken the church, Victoria is trying to hold her family together, Genesis is growing up with the King name hanging over her head, and everyone is trying to figure out how to move forward when the person who held so much power in the family is sitting behind bars. But Xander King's story is not over. With his release possibly coming, everybody is wondering what comes next. Has prison really changed him? Is he ready to do right by Charity, Xylah, and his family? Or is the old Xander still there, waiting to come back stronger than before? The Kings all want redemption in some way. Xander wants to fix what he broke. Charity wants peace and stability. Victoria wants her family whole again. Malachi wants to outrun the secrets that keep catching up to him. Genesis just wants to breathe without the weight of the King name on her back. But wanting redemption and actually earning it are two different things.

Because when Xander finally comes home, everybody will have to decide if forgiveness
