Latavia Carter can't live or face the present because she's stuck in her past. She marries the man of her dreams but she's unable to appreciate him because of her haunting past. Lies, secrets, and infidelity cause her life and the ones around her to spiral out of control. But is it her fault? How can it be when just about everyone in her immediate circle has a secret of his or her own? Who can she trust? Better yet, how can she trust anyone when she can't even trust herself? Darnell Carter, also known as Latavia's Aladdin, is the epitome of the perfect man. His decision to keep a one-night stand a secret sends the world he's worked so hard to build crumbling down, placing him in a life-or-death situation. Forced to take matters into his own hands, as divorce isn't an option in his eyes, Darnell promises to honor his vows - by any means necessary! He is a firm believer of his vow, "Until death do us part", which he doesn't take lightly. Nariah Westbrook is a scorned woman faced with demons of her own. She believes a man is only good for one thing - if he can manage to get that right. If sex doesn't include her being in a position of power, she wants nothing to do with it - until she finds herself falling in love with Mahogany, who is emotionally unavailable and isn't the person she set out to be. Nariah allows sex to dictate her life, which in turn fucks her and the world around her real good. Come take a journey into this romantic thriller of sex, lies, and betrayal, and see if Torn won't have you second guessing who you can trust - especially if your wants overshadow your needs.
