The Bishop's Beard

After a family tragedy, chart-topping gospel artist Judah Waters and his manager wife Derika find themselves caught between reality and religion, scriptures and scandals, and the realization that what won't break them will burn them.
Seemingly perfect for each other, wealthy, happy and touring with friends and their protege goddaughter, things are going fine for Judah and Deriak until they leave Los Angeles for Atlanta to mourn. When Judah agrees to take on his late brother's position at his family's church while his father clings to life, Derika initially agrees to support her husband to the dismay of First Lady Lavinia Waters who will do whatever it takes to maintain her place even if it means destroying what she perceives as her son's unequally yoked marriage.In order to survive, Judah and Derika must learn to deal with temptations, dark secrets, deadly addictions, and past traumas while being haunted by memories of their lost loved ones.
With her signature style for suspenseful steamy dramatic romance with a dash of wit, and based on real-life scenario bits, Arthia Nixon delivers another juicy page-turner from the pulpit bringing church hurt and questionable faith to the forefront in The Bishop's Beard.
