About the Book
Aaron Jamieson is living a carefree life. He's good-looking, respectable when he's in the mood, but his weakness is women. When a woman tries to ambush him with a pregnancy, he takes off in the other direction. Responsibility as an option is something he learned from his absentee father.
Talise Rogers has a bright future ahead of her. She's pretty and has no problem catching a man's eye, which is exactly what she does with Ace. Their chemistry is undeniable and their passion explosive. Trapping Ace is the furthest thing from Talise's mind, when she learns she is pregnant. She is determined to be a good parent.
When Ace rejects her she lets him know, " I want nothing from you Ace, not even your name," and she means it. But Ace's big brother and cousins don't plan to let the child who represents the twelfth generation descendant of a royal African tribe leave the fold. Whether Ace decides to accept his responsibility or not, his family embraces Talise and baby. As for Ace, they turn him over to the LORD. How long will he be able to endure the guilt trip he's experiencing because of his choices? What will it take for him to accept responsibility and turn from following in his father's footsteps?
About the Series
The Jamieson Family Legacy series follows the lives of
the two Jamieson brothers in Boston, Kidd and Ace and their cousin Cameron from
St. Louis. Kidd, the older brother, is
struggling with anger and resentment issues toward his absentee father who
never married his mother, but had the audacity to demand his illegitimate sons
carry his last name Jamieson. Ace, on the other hand, is on a collision course
with disaster as he shows how much a "chip off the old block" he is
when it comes to women.
Their highly educated MIT graduate cousin, Cameron
Jamieson, is all about saving his family from self-destruction. Through genealogy
research, Cameron's mission is to show his cousins
their worth as eleventh generation descendants of a royal African tribe and
give them a choice: to be angry black men or accept the challenge to become
strong successful black men.
The Jamieson men in this three book series are challenged with accepting that the past and the present are both in God's hand. Without Him they can't move forward toward their future blessings. The bonus storyline is one that progresses the story of the much-loved Grandma B.B. character from the author's previous Guilt books and her new sidekick, Mrs. Valentine.
