About this ebook

If 28-year-old Monique Morrison had only one wish, it would be to fall in love with a man sent from God; a man who will cherish her forever. But Monique makes a huge mistake when she chooses to help herself. Going against her Christian values, she decides to play house and move in with her musician boyfriend, Boris Cortland. Boris is in no hurry to get to the altar now that Monique has already signed on to play the role of a wife.
Though she's in church Sunday after Sunday, praying for God to touch Boris's heart and turn him from his wicked ways, it seems Monique's pleas are going unanswered. Suffering from neglect, rejection, and plenty of verbal abuse, Monique has all but given up on her dream of a relationship that represents unconditional love; that is, until Adonis Cortland moves in and does for Monique all of the things that Boris won't do. Could Boris's own cousin be the man Monique had been seeking?

"This book is profound yet enlightening. The characters are believable and unique. The storyline is entertaining, and the readers of the book should definitely walk away examining their own lives and how their lives affect others."
—Pastor Ricky Harris of Alpha and Omega Baptist Church in Chicago, Illinois

Ratings and reviews

Don't like how it ended. Was it Monique's plan to blurt out Adonis' name at the altar? Did she know all along that she wasn't going to marry Boris? How did Monique/Adonis wedding /honeymoon turn out? What happened to Boris afterwards? Did Arykah and Lance hook up? It's a great read, but I wanted to read more because it was getting really good. Please make a Part 2!

I absolutely love this book. It's was the ending I needed it to be. I fell in love with the characters and the message that was clear. I Love shall the humor in the book as well KnowUrWorth💋

I love this book I have read it 3times couldn't get enough.
