Friends 2 Lovers: The Ones We Chose

On the night of Anthony and Myra's wedding, under a sky of silver stars, Kelly opens the envelope she has kept hidden in her Bible for months. The test proves Larry Vance is not the father of the daughter she placed for adoption. And if it was never Larry, there is only one other man it could be. The little girl with the mark on the back of her neck, the one who ran across the dance floor straight into Claude's arms, may be his.

Claude wants to bring her home. Kelly wants something harder: no hiding, no fists, no lawyers first. She owes Valerie Dixon, the woman who opened her door and raised Lori with love, the truth face to face. But Valerie's husband, Reggie, greets kindness with a careful plan of his own, and Clinton Johnson, Claude's sparring partner and Lori's devoted big brother, is not about to let anyone take his sister without a fight. Anthony, ignoring his own failing health, offers his son a lawyer who only plays to win. And from a prison cell, Larry is still looking for ways to hurt them.

Two families love the same little girl. Both have every reason to hold on. When the law, blood and love all point in different directions, who gets to decide what makes a family?
