About The Book
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sister Souljah, in her new novel A Beautiful Evil, introduces the darker side of Winter Santiaga in a mature, masterful, sensual follow-up to Love After Midnight.
On the same day that Winter Santiaga wore her wedding dress, her new husband, well-known, independent, rebellious, and wealthy hip-hop star FKR Mutha, is shot dead in a public assasination as Winter stood right beside him.
Winter, who had flipped her ex-con status and earned her own fame and wealth, is now challenged in her role as a young widow, managing her own sense of guilt, dodging the murder investigation, maintaining her fame and powerful public image, all while plotting on becoming a billionaire bitch. Each day that she lives is filled with suspense, creative genius, tension, yearning, betrayal, and an evil so beautiful that it propels her higher and higher and cannot be detected by her loves, fans, or anti-fans. How long can it last before the force of fate triggers a power change in her soul?
