Roxanne Redman's husband hasn't fathered a child, but he's suddenly arrested for fifty-thousand dollars' worth of delinquent child support-and their nightmare is just beginning.
Roxanne's husband, Parker Redman, is shocked when he's arrested for delinquent child support ... especially since the devoted husband hasn't fathered any children. The Parkers' best friends, James and Serena, are in the final stages of a bitter divorce.
When the divorce is final, James believes his nightmare is over-that's when he learns his daughter has a different daddy.
Single mom Lachez Baker is a ghetto-fabulous mother of three who seems to have it all, thanks to money from her children's fathers. But soon, her life of designer clothes, endless parties, and steady cash collides with the man who's been the target of her
carefully crafted paternity fraud. From author Pat Tucker comes a drama-filled tale of lies, schemes and consequences as these men discover the importance of knowing the paternity laws in your state.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

A court-system mistake forces a man to pay child support for a child that's not his. Tucker addresses this surprisingly not so unlikely situation and other Texas law conundrums in this dazzling drama, her first trade paperback after a series of mass market titles (Proceed with Caution). Parker and Roxanne Redman are heading home in sadness after Roxanne's suffered another miscarriage when Parker'spulled over for speeding and arrested for ,000 in delinquent childsupport for a child that's not his, by a woman he doesn't even know. Meanwhile, Parker's best friend James, who'sdivorcing his wife, Serena, has just agreed to pay child support forsix-year-old Semaj, ill with sickle cell anemia, although James later learnsthrough a blood test that Semaj is not his biological daughter. Tucker's dissection of family law and corruption in the welfaresystem is both fascinating and horrifying. The men and the women involved, including Parker's distraught wife, Roxy; working-the-system welfare mom Lachez Baker; and out-of-control Serena come vividly to life, along with the innocent children caught in thecrossfire of paternity fraud.
