Between Love and a Hard Place (A tease-spoon of love and revenge)

Description

Love. What is it? Is it loving someone so much that it hurts? Is it something treasured, even through the pain, because you knew the kind you’d face without them would be way too overpowering? Or what about a mother’s love? You know, the kind where she would do anything to protect her child’s heart, soul, and sanity . . . even if it means severing her own.

Mariam Wildermen is used to being a kept woman. Having come from a strong, wealthy, family-oriented, Italian background, she never wanted for anything. But after her husband cheats and leaves her, all she wants to do now is focus all her time and energy into her grown daughter . . . something she hasn’t done in a long time.

Enter the scene college sweethearts, Miranda and Raheem. Though she’s obnoxious, bourgeois, and likes to keep up with the joneses, Raheem puts a ring on her pretty little finger anyway, feeling it was the right decision to make. Life seems to be great. In fact, life seems to be perfect, and the couple is heading into the right direction of happily-ever-after. Sounds too good to be true? That’s because it is.

While Miranda is far from the ideal housewife and companion, Raheem’s suppressed desires from his past resurface, and he is secretly battling with a secret he can no longer contain, a secret so big, it’s giving him and everyone around him, including Mariam, the blues . . . Indigo blues.
