An Inconvenient Friend

by Rhonda McKnight


Selected by:

Camilya Daniels


Synopsis:

Samaria Jacobs joins New Mercies Christian Church in order to get close to Angelina Preston, her lover's wife. She's got her heart set on successful surgeon Gregory Preston. He has just the bankroll she needs to keep her in the lifestyle that her credit card debt has helped her grow accustomed to. If she gets to know Angelina, she can become like her in more than looks, and really work her way into Greg's heart.

Just when Samaria thinks she's got it all figured out, she finds herself drawn to Angelina's kindness. Will she be able to carry out her plan after she finds herself yearning for the one thing she's never had . . . the friendship of a woman?

Angelina Preston's life is filled with a successful career and busy ministry work, but something's just not right with her marriage. Late nights and early meetings, coupled with lipstick-stained shirts have her suspicious that her husband is doing a little more operating than she'd like. But does she have the strength to confront the only man she's ever loved and risk losing him to the other woman?
