Half Past Hate
Description
Rainie and Michael's burning love escalates to greater heights in Half Past Hate, the second sizzling romance story in the Censored Time Trilogy. It kicks off with an apprehensive Rainie stalling for the final "I do," as her parents, his parents, and the guests wait on edge. Will she accept Michael's love or deny herself a forever kind of happiness?
The touch of Michael's hand to hers caresses a soft seal to her vows as she utters, "I do." All are reveling in the extraordinary wedding and reception enhanced by thrilling and exciting news. The happy couple prepares for a magical honeymoon aboard a sailing schooner in the crystal waters of the Caribbean. Rainie and Michael's love abounds, making it impossible not to follow deeper into their fun, heartwarming, and sensually titillating love story.
But, back in New Orleans, the cartel is alive and well and has taken on the appearance of legitimacy inside the law offices of Tolbert, Thibeaux, Smith, and Todd. Tom Todd, Rainie's ex-husband, is the newest partner in the firm. A position he acquired in exchange for his silence after stumbling upon down-right dirty, corrupt, and questionable business practices involving bundles of cash. Little did he know how treacherous this misstep would be and the consequences to follow.
Two weeks after Rainie and Michael return home from their honeymoon, Tom's young wife, Diane, is brutally murdered, followed by a cloistered meeting between Rainie, Michael, and Tom. The horrid story behind Diane's murder is revealed, thus conjuring hypotheses and questions as to the identity of the one responsible. The murder opens the door for more tragic events luring Rainie into the viper's den.
No longer will the law firm hold the prestige and air of propriety that it once had, as the investigation unfolds into unfathomable debauchery, dishonesty, and a ridicule of the law. Even the veteran investigators find the situation particularly heinous. Suspicions become intensified as a link is suspected to the Cartagena cartel and some of its unsavory members. The key players weave an unbelievable and disturbing plot leading directly to Grayson Smith, a puppet attorney for Mateo Moreno, head of one of the Columbian Cartels.
Where will all this lead? What kind of impact will it have on Rainie and Michael? Danger, danger everywhere! Join in the wicked tale that can only be described as Half Past Hate.
Hang on, y'all, this is a romance novel, so like all love stories, Rainie and Michael live happily-ever-after...until next time.
