    About this ebook

    Rena Henderson comes to Devin’s Cay to shake things up. Her father, the late Rev. T.G. Henderson has bequeathed the bulk of his estate to Drake Beckford, a young, vibrant preacher, who hasn’t any idea of the glorious future that awaits him. Rena tries to stop the inevitable, even if it means purchasing a gun to frighten her father’s lawyer into changing the contents of the will. However, when ‘love’ unexpectedly comes knocking on her door in the person of music icon, Armando Beckford, Rena is forced to rethink her actions and ultimately, her world is thrown into mass confusion.

    While Rena is doing all she could to avoid Armando Beckford, the brother of Armando, Kevin Beckford is caught in the middle of a brutal decision that could destroy his love connection with Hunter Rose. Do he follow through with his marriage proposal to Hunter or do he accept a deal that was made by the she-devil herself, the calculating Shiloh Bethune?

    And finally, Sasha seemed to be coming around to embracing her husband’s love. She’s now willing to support him fully in church ministry and whatever compromises of her husband’s vision. But there is still a huge secret, lurking in the dark that could rupture this seemingly happy union. Will it surface or will it fade away into an insignificant memory?

    Find out in book 5, as H. H. Fowler races toward the shocking conclusion in book 7. For the residents of Devin’s Cay will not stop until they have tasted the sustaining fruits of Real Love

    H.H. Fowler

    Husband, Father, Muscian, Writer... Conceived in the chills of Switzerland, Fowler's parents journeyed back home to the Bahamas where he was born and reared a Caribbean product. A cosmopolitan at heart, Fowler's interest in the power of writing was ignited at the impressionable age of thirteen, awarding him the opportunity to share his furor with his family and close friends. His first poem, inspired by his Literary teacher was published at age fourteen by a recognized publishing company in Washington D.C. He's a graduate of Remmington College in Tampa Florida and was elected to deliver the graduation speech for the Bachelor program. Most of his reading and writing experiences have been immensely touched by noted prolific writers such as, Agatha Christie, John Grisham, Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim Lahaye. He now introduces his new novel, "Church Boyz". Fowler's favorite activities, besides writing and reading, include playing the piano, traveling, and meeting new people. Visit his blog at www.churchboyz.org "I am fascinated by storytelling, and how characters develop into people I feel as if I've known all my life."

      From the Desk of H.H. Fowler

      The saddest thing in the world is loving someone who used to love you.

      Chapter One

      Rena marched into Lewis’ office like she normally did without bothering to knock. She plunged down in the chair in front of him and gave him a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes. Her chestnut complexion and her light brown hair were the only things she hadn’t gleaned from her father’s genes. Otherwise, she was the female adaptation of the late Rev. T. G. Henderson. They didn’t get along all that well, but how unfortunate that she would never know how much he loved her before he died.

      I have come up with a solution, she started, that will allow me to inherit the bulk of my father’s estate, while Drake will receive the smaller portion.

      Lewis pushed aside the document he’d been working on and gave Rena a sarcastic smirk. Oh, this is gonna be good. What are you up to now, Rena? I’ve already told you that if you contest your father’s will, you will be promptly disinherited. Do you think this is some kind of joke?

      Lewis, I’m disappointed in your answer, because it shows you have no faith in me at all. Rena reached into her purse and drew out the revolver she’d purchased a few days ago. She hoisted it in the air, positioning it between Lewis’ eyes. I’m letting you know right now, you old buzzard, how my father’s estate is going to be distributed.

      Lewis laughed, obviously not taking Rena seriously. Don’t be stupid. You kill me, you make it all that much harder for you to get the money, he warned. And I’m quite sure you don’t want that.

      Maybe that is exactly what I’m hoping for, Rena said. Neither Drake nor I will inherit any of my father’s estate.

      Clearly you are not astute enough when it comes down to the laws regarding a person’s will. I am the sole executor of your father’s estate, but if anything should happen to me, the court will simply appoint another, which I seriously doubt would be you. Most likely the new executor would be one of the witnesses whose signature is also on the will. However, the terms of your father’s instructions won’t change – you contest it and expect to be cut out of the inheritance. And this new executor may or may not be as lenient as I am with you. So give it up, Rena, because you are fighting a losing battle.

      Rena pushed out her lips in response as she gave Lewis’ words some consideration. Her pensive gaze then glided to the 32 inch flat screen TV that was to the right of Lewis’ head. A trailer showing one of Trinidad’s hottest Soca artists was slated to come to Devin’s Cay. Rena’s gaze dropped to the headline at the bottom of the screen: Armando Beckford – Six Week Caribbean Tour to 7 Islands. She then studied the man behind the name, who was sporting a head full of dreadlocks and a smile so sexy that Rena almost forgot that she was pointing a revolver at Lewis.

      However, it wasn’t the shock of seeing Armando or his dashing looks that got Rena’s attention (although she was awestruck at how handsome he’d turned out over the years), but rather a sudden resurgence of regret about the future she could have had with him. Nostalgia was no respecter of persons, regardless of how good an individual was at camouflaging their emotions. Because even now, Rena could vividly recall their last conversation before boarding a plane to Miami.

      "You got everything? Armando asked, his big lips bulging in concern. Enough money? Warm clothes? It’s a little cold around this time in Miami…"

      "Stop worrying about me, boy. I’m fine…you have done more than enough, moving me from sleeping under a bridge to a warm bed and cooked meals. Certainly more than my father would have ever done. I guess he is trying to teach me a lesson on responsibility."

      Armando shook his head. But still, I can’t believe your old man put you out of the house and hasn’t come around to see how you are faring.

      "He didn’t put me out per se, Rena corrected. I walked out. And besides, it was for the best. Things were getting too stuffy between us. I had to leave while I had the chance."

      "Some father he is, Armando spat bitterly. Isn’t he supposed to be a preacher?"

      "Yup."

      "How ironic."

      "Why’d you say that?"

      "Because he’s trying to save everyone else and hasn’t bothered to save his own daughter."

      "I don’t need any sort of ‘saving’ from that man, Rena snapped. What I need is to get out of Devin’s Cay, especially if I’m to make it big in the film business. This job has become available and I’m taking it. Plus, I’ll be enrolling in the Florida Film Institute this coming January and the company has agreed to pay 75 percent of my tuition fee. In three years, my goal is to move to Paris and find work there. I want to be as far away from my father as I possibly can."

      "You certainly have some big dreams, Armando remarked and then suddenly cracked an impish grin. But I’d take the job too, if it required me to watch people have sex all day. Let me tell you: that’s a very sweet dream for a man like me."

      Rena playfully pushed him away from her. You are only fifteen. What do you know about sex?

      "You shouldn’t ask such a question if you’re not prepared to hear the answer. Don’t let this innocent face fool you. I’m more a man between my legs than anywhere else."

      Rena blushed at the audacious statement. Boy, please, you need to go take a cold shower and cool down.

      "Why do you insist on calling me, ‘boy’?"

      "Because…that’s what you are to me, Armando. I’ll be twenty years old in six months."

      "And I’ll be sixteen next month. Old enough to make a baby and take care of it. Before you board that plane, I’m gonna French kiss you, which should keep you on cloud nine until you return to Devin’s Cay for a visit…"

      If you’re not planning on shooting me today, Lewis quipped, pulling
