Butterfly 3

October 26, 2020
One woman must choose between the three men in Antoinette’s angsty and emotionally charged third Butterfly novel (after Butterfly 2). Morgan Atkins found love for the first time with volatile gangster Messiah Williams, but after he disappeared, she fell into a loveless engagement with the respectable but controlling Sebastian Fredrick, while creeping around on the side with Ahmeek Harris, Messiah’s street soldier and friend who taught her a gentler kind of love. Two years later, Messiah’s back and he’s staking a claim on Morgan’s heart. Messiah’s presence turns Morgan’s life upside down and she questions the connections she’s built with the other two men—but she’s hiding a secret from Messiah that threatens to stop their romantic rekindling before it can start: she never told him about their twins, born after Messiah disappeared. Dancing between her obligations to her pending marriage with Sebastian, the love she feels for Ahmeek, and her passionate desire to be with Messiah, Morgan must make a series of difficult decisions that affect both her and her makeshift family. Antoinette masterfully weaves a gritty, streetwise tale sure to captivate readers of urban fiction.
