"Octavia's storytelling is so impressive and addicting."
—RT Book Reviews
In Essence® bestselling author Grace Octavia's exciting, volatile novel, a charismatic bad boy mayor finally takes a spectacular fall. But that doesn't mean he's going down alone...
 
Since the night Atlanta mayor, self-made millionaire, and womanizer Jamison Jackson plummeted from the top floor of a downtown hotel, everyone seems to have profited, from vicious criminals to corrupt politicians. Everyone except his jilted first wife, Kerry. Once a socialite, she's now the prime suspect in Jamison's alleged murder. But she swears she's no killer—and surprisingly, Jamison's widow, Val, agrees. For all they know, it was Coreen, the mother of Jamison's secret love child. After years of extortion, Coreen's cash flow has come to an end. The reality is, Jamison had a murky past and a legion of enemies old and new who will do whatever it takes to cover up the truth—and it's even more scandalous, unexpected, and filled with secrets than anyone suspects...

      Octavia (His Third Wife, 2013) continues the saga of Kerry and Val, two women drawn together by their relationships with Jamison, Atlanta's mayor, in this twisting tale. Kerry is in prison for pushing her ex off a roof right after he proposed to her. Val, Jamison's widow, who had intended to divorce him, has pledged to get Kerry out of prison because she knows she didn't do it. No one can understand why Kerry is being kept in prison, so Val puts the D.A. in a compromising position, and that does the trick: Kerry is freed. Kerry begins to believe the conspiracy theories claiming that Jamison was killed for his efforts to help African Americans secure higher quality education and jobs. Jamison's murder is not solved, but plenty of other secrets are revealed in the latest from the feisty, dramatic Octavia. Some plotlines stretch belief in a fun soap-opera style, and Kerry and Val remain resilient, unpredictable characters that readers will enjoy as their friendship grows.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
