THE SEQUEL TO SHE WOULDN’T WAIT

Together, they make the bold decision to escape the exorbitant rents of New York City to live in a house Maurice inherited in New Orleans, hoping to restore their financial stability.
Yet, as they settle into their new life, Maurice encounters an unfamiliar branch of his family tree – the criminal branch, led by his illegitimate father, Philippe. His half-sisters, Sophie and Marie, extend their welcome as well, but beneath the surface, deception lurks. Foreseeing no real danger, Grace encourages her husband to explore this newfound connection.
A surprise visit from the FBI reveals shocking truths about Philippe’s dark side. Fear grips Grace as the depth of their peril becomes evident, but an unexpected bond develops between Maurice and his father.
Torn between loyalty and survival, Maurice grapples with impending fatherhood, and protecting his wife while attempting to unearth Philippe’s secrets and free them from a dangerous entanglement.
