Mister Girth: Getting Nasty Between the Church Pews

With his handsome face, tattoos, locs, full beard, and diamond earrings, he has the church ladies talking-and watching.

Soon, whispers turn into gossip, and the church's quiet halls become a hotbed of scandal.But Miss Pamela isn't the only one with Cyprus on her mind.

In their eyes, a little time with Cyprus is worth just about any price.Meanwhile, the older church members hold tightly to the secret of Mother Black's past-a truth that never makes it beyond their small circle, but remains an unspoken bond among those who knew her before she became the church's revered matriarch.As desire, jealousy, and gossip stir up trouble among the pews, Cyprus finds himself at the center of a scandal no one saw coming.Mother Black may be gone, but between the secrets of the old guard and the schemes of Miss Pamela's friends, the church is far from finding peace.
