Edythe Jamison, a young debutante of the 1920s, has been pining for Henry Barton Jr. ever since he rescued her from embarrassment. But her thoughts of him are just a fantasy. She's convinced that he would never be interested in a girl like her.

Henry, a newly licensed attorney, is not ready to settle down with any girl just yet. But his wants are quickly put on hold the day he is found alone in a room in a very compromising position with Edythe Jamison. Much to his consternation, he is joined in a shot-gun wedding to Edythe.

Edythe desires a loving romantic marriage, but Henry demands a marriage of convenience and separation. But when Edythe decides to remove herself from under Henry’s thumb, Henry quickly realizes that Edythe is the woman that he always wanted.

If Henry can get over his inflaming jealousy that erupts over his beautiful wife, and convince her he wants a real marriage, things will be fine…he hopes. There is the pesky issue of his family’s dark secret that complicates his life all the more, and threatens to rip the two apart.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!

I loved this book. I read it in a single sitting. I started around noon and finished at 4am. I could not put it down. The story is well written and flows very well. It didn't drag on and on with too many descriptions of rooms, furniture, clothes, etc. The timelines moved quickly without bogging me down with too many day to day details. The heroine, Edy was real to me; or at least I could identify with her. Henry was handsome, suave and intelligent. He reminded me of one of my uncles. This story takes place in the 1920's and it reminds me of a time my great-aunts and great-uncles use to reminisce about. I truly loved all the characters - Mae, Pauline, Della... and when Patti got frustrated and snatched her wig off I laughed out loud. Every character was well developed. I sure didn't see the twist about James - WOW! I will read more of this author. I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

I love Edy and Henry. This tells a wonderful story of an unexpected discovery of love. All the characters were wonderful, from Pauline who resides over the family to Twix who delivers a prayer of monumental vengeance. The best is Edy who grew from an insecure young girl into a woman who found her voice and discovered her beauty. Yes, there is racism and also passing that fits into the plot of the storyline.

There were typos in almost every chapter and some of the historical information is questionable, but you know what it didn't ruin the book for me. The story was well written with lots of twists and turns, secrets and lies that keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Ever

Reading this book was such a joy. The author Keys did a good job with this story. I read on one of the comments someone accused this book as been hateful in term of race. Which was untrue, everything was historical accurate. However, if one read history of America during 1922, one would know racism was a nasty and brutal stage during that time. We also know racism is still prominent in America today.

Getting back to the book, I love every bit of it and I did not want it to end.

The story is about Henry and Edy as hero and heroine. As first Henry did not want Edy or their marriage ( because he felt he got other plan for his life. Anyone can understand that of a 25 year old young man) But when love comes things change as well. But trouble, mystery, laugh, strong-willed, determination and jealous will keep you entertained until the end of the book.

A Most Read Book❤❤

Mrs Keys well done and I am a fan.

EXCELLENT shockers, imagination, and romance despite many odds!!! Much love to PR Keys for writing this into my life. A must read!

This story has me cringing in despair, because of the obvious hate this writer seems to have for white people. The sins of the past do not have an impact on most white Americans, who are immigrants themselves to this wonderful country. I am a third generation Norwegian, whose family came to this country with very little, but an attitude to work hard for every dime they could. I do wish many people of color would not categorize all white people into (you did this to me). Overall this is a sad story of the way people of color were treated. Terrible injustice was indeed practiced by many southern states. The story is built upon a deeply held secret of a grandmother who was released from slavery as a child and given wealth to start anew in a community not a racist as the Deep South. The deeply held prejudice against people of color, is keeping intelligent professionally inspired people from entering into the political elections of Baltimore. There is also a forced marriage in this story that is highly suspect, because it is clear from the writers description of the young attorneys exploits that he was far from a saint when he sent his young wife away to Michigan. So what I am taking from this story is that yes, the injustice was terrible and people of color had to fight hard for every advancement they have made. But also in this new age, there are far to many standing with their hands out saying (you did this to me). My family of immigrants did nothing to support this injustice, they were to busy renting farms and working the fields. Ask the Irish immigrants how they were persecuted when they first came to this country. They knew about the slums of New York up close and personal. Most Americans are sadden about what happened to people of color. Discrimination Must not be Continued In The future.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful romance with a twisty plot

A wonderful romance with a twisty plot . . . What's not to love?! Throw in the fact that it's based in the 1920's and you've got a winner!!! I love that the relationship was not easy; you got to see the characters evolve and grow into the relationship. That's a REAL relationship! Love is often hard won not instantaneous. The twists and turns throughout the plot left me intrigued. The background characters were full of life oftentimes attempting to steal the show from the main characters with their strong personalities and humorous dialogue. P.R. Keys really set a great foundation for the series with this debut. If this is the opening act then I can't wait for the next book in the series! Job well done! I'm expecting great things from you.
