About the book

Coming soon. Volume Six of the Friends 2 Lovers series is on its way.

On Father's Day, Claude Richards holds a yellow envelope from Detroit and learns that the man who raised him since he was seventeen was never his father by blood. Anthony Richards paid for a lie in 2008 so he could bring Claude home. Now, with a kidney transplant scheduled for dawn, Claude has one night to decide what he owes the man who chose him, and his wife, Kelly, has to decide how close to stand while he carries it.

The secret does not stay in the study. Myra, Anthony's wife of less than a year, learns that the safe she was trusted to open held the one thing she was never told. Latoya's Sunday table goes quiet. Detective Arnold, who signed the paper he was handed, wants answers of his own. And a podcast host named Vanessa Cole is asking questions about a doctor in Detroit and a test he never should have changed.

If the truth comes out, it reaches past Claude and Kelly to Daisy, to CJ, and to a little girl in Miami Gardens, and to a man in a Georgia prison who once spared Kelly's life for a reason that is no longer true. In The Sins of the Father, a family built on love has to ask what a name is worth, and who will pay for the one that was bought.
