From award-winning and #1 Essence bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley comes a compelling tale of love, money, and divorce gone wrong. A woman discovers the downside of good luck--and the false promise of one little lottery ticket--in this stunning novel from #1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley.
When Nina Lawson wins $16 million in the Texas Lotto, the Houston real estate executive and her fiance, sexy personal trainer Rick Henderson, ecstatically begin planning their future--from paying off their credit cards, to setting their wedding date, to a spontaneous, spare-no-expense island getaway.
But Nina didn't count on a second astounding twist of fate to befall her: her ex-husband, Todd Lawson, apparently isn't her ex anything due to a paperwork mix-up. Now Todd claims he's entitled to half her cash . . . and a string of Nina's long-lost relatives are turning up for handouts, too. "Living the dream" is fast becoming a nightmare, and before it's too late, Nina must take stock of her many blessings, not her bank account--or risk losing everything she values.
