Kimberly goes into a deep depression until she meets Andrew. Malik and Shonda get married, and she starts working as a prison guard. To replace the finances that Malik no longer contributes, Shonda begins earning extra money by breaking prison rules. She also gets romantically involved with an inmate who claims his innocence but is found guilty of all charges. Malik finds a new job preparing taxes and meets Nadine, a single schoolteacher. They date until Shonda confronts Nadine in her classroom. Nadine tells Malik about Shonda's visit and questions his status. He admits being married, and Nadine breaks off the relationship. She then realizes how much she misses her old boyfriend, Erick, who takes her back. All the former partners in this absorbing read are eventually held accountable for their bad choices. Lillian Lewis
