Ambria Davis - 2015
When her mother dies unexpectedly, Brinay seizes the opportunity to put some distance between herself and her painful past. A change of scenery seems to be just the cure Brinay needed as she soon finds herself on the path to real happiness-excelling in medical school with the man of her dreams by her side? Her life is shaping up to be picture perfect-until she discovers just how much love her man has to give. Skylar has always been a daddy’s girl, and when Brinay pops up as the prettier and more likeable outside child of her parent’s marriage, Skylar makes sure to let Brinay know that she’s a non-factor, just like her side-piece mother had been for their father. Skylar is the epitome of spoiled; she moves through life flaunting her wealth and looking down her nose at anyone that she feels is beneath her–that is, until she meets Dontie, who’s the complete opposite of her upscale lifestyle. Despite his thuggish ways, Skylar can’t resist the sexiest man in Miami, so she jumps at the chance to be his wife. Little does she know, he takes “keeping it in the family,” to a whole new level. My Sister’s Husband takes the reader on a wild ride and shows how some familial ties can never be broken, even between sworn enemies.
