Description
Do family, faith—and fame—go together? In this captivating novel from award-winning author Tiffany L. Warren, two brothers reach for the stars, but are they prepared for a fall?
They’re handsome, smart, and musically gifted. Brothers Camden and Blaine Wilson have put their talents together and founded a gospel group. The quieter one, Camden is the songwriter, while charismatic Blaine is the performer. At first, their Reverend father is against the idea—until Blaine, his favorite, wows the congregation with his performance at a church revival. Sure enough, once the reverend witnesses their effect on the crowd he wants them there every Sunday. But he may have set the stage for trouble...
As the group’s popularity grows, so do the groupies—and promiscuous Blaine is more than happy to share his love. Gigs across the country, meetings with music execs, a chance to sign with a major label, and a sexy new band member bring new connections—and dangerous new temptations. Soon, a slew of rumors and a shocking betrayal threaten to destroy the group—and the brothers’ relationship. But one event is going to rock their world forever. Do they have enough faith, forgiveness, and brotherly love left to find harmony once more?

Advance Praise
“Warren enthralls…Well-rounded characters and vivid action make for an authentic, powerful read that lingers after the last page is turned.” – Publishers Weekly
“The prologue is mesmerizing. Warren immediately creates a thirst that she ingeniously quenches with brilliant storytelling. Blaine and Camden are twin sons of the prominent Pastor Wilson. Instead of a coat of many colors, his favorite son is to be adorned with his father’s legacy as pastor of his own megachurch. Sexual promiscuity, betrayal, scandal, disappointment and pompousness, however, threaten to rock the dynasty Pastor Wilson is orchestrating in his name. Explosive dialogue, lively characters and spiritual, emotional and moral conflicts harmonize to create this sensational tale.”– RT Book Reviews, 4.5 Stars
“In this tale hinting of Oxygen’s reality TV series, Fix My Choir, Warren includes excessive detail about gospel music and behind-the-scenes church maneuverings, but the pace livens up with lots of cold-blooded backstabbing. Betrayal comes fast and furious as it’s clear these brothers and friends don’t have one another’s back.” – Library Journal STARRED REVIEW
