Forty-something widow Jessie Tucker is beloved throughout Lexington, Alabama, for her kind heart and endless generosity. But, she feels it's past time she rewarded herself- especially when upstanding Hubert Wiggins tragically loses his wife and son. Making herself indispensable, yet discouraged by Hubert's lack of romantic interest, Jessie cooks up a deception she knows will make pious Hubert do right by her. Hoax or not, Hubert couldn't be happier. The passionate self he's long hidden from everyone has a new, much-riskier secret love. And the unsuspecting second Mrs. Wiggins will help him maintain his ever-so-devout image in the community. But, when Hubert is not the ardent lover Jessie always dreamed he was, she turns her desires to handsome younger man Conway. Suddenly, the "good church wife" can't resist the temptation at all. And someone is watching: Conway's new girlfriend- and Jessie's longtime rival, Blondeen. Now Blondeen has the perfect opportunity to harass Jessie, destroy her reputation, drive her out of town- then become the real wife Hubert should have had all along. In one shattering night, Jessie, Blondeen, and Hubert will each go too far. And, when their web of deceit threatens to drag them under for good, they will have only one chance to erase the past and claim everything they've ever wanted. If their secrets don't destroy them first. Mode of access: World Wide Web. Hoopla Audiobook. African Americans Fiction. Women Fiction.
