A Dead Rose — Rhonda Lawson

For Isis Reynolds, love has never been more than a quick affair. Every time she thinks she's found Mr. Right, he fails to live up to her standards and she has to move on. Now she's worked her way through most of the available men on the Fort Knox Army Base and people in her small town are starting to talk. Luckily, she has her girls, Kendra and Michelle, to have her back.

Just as Isis is beginning to give up on men, she meets Vincent. After a short courtship, the two get married. Vincent is madly in love with her...until people start telling him about Isis's past. Can Vincent look past her bad reputation? Only time will tell if their love will survive and if they will find the beauty in A Dead Rose.
