Cheating Time (52 page)
Emily takes full advantage of the
opportunity and quickly proves to him,
much to
her brothers' dismay
, that he can't live without having
her in those critical roles and that she may be the best candidate
for his next in command.
She and Tope quickly realize that the men of
the commune consider a woman, who threatens the good ol' boy system
that's been in place for decades,
public enemy
number one
. Determined to protect Emily from her
brothers, Tope plants an undercover officer and charismatic law
student, Noah Babineaux, in the commune. Neither Tope nor Emily is
prepared for the attention Noah pays her.
With a nothing-else-matters attitude, Emily
focuses on her underground mission and pushes down her hate, anger,
grief, and… blossoming feelings until they threaten to explode from
the inside and tear her apart. It's a race against the clock to get
the evidence necessary—and ultimately, the retaliation Emily
craves—before a life of submissive brutality,
or sibling jealousy
, kills her.
