He found a way, like he said he would.

"Wouldn't it be nice... to no longer be everyone's cautionary tale by default?"

Married couple Patience and Obinna Okoye had faith in the justice system once. But Ex-convict Harlan McCandles has just been released from prison and they're expecting him to be unshackled. Ravenous. Seeking for his muse of muses. Yet, Patience is ready with a plan... one that may push her marriage to the brink. A desperate strategy born not just from fear but from something far more personal. Especially when it comes to family. The closer she gets, the more the lines begin to blur between the hunter and the hunted. Will Obinna finally fight for the woman who's known to 'want too much?' Loyalties will be tested, secrets unearthed, and survival is not guaranteed in this chilling psychological reckoning. Discover the long-awaited conclusion to For His Muse Only.
