While Reading.....(the best kept secret)

My Grandma wasn't kidding when she said everyone has secrets. I thought it was kind of strange that everything just started happening so quickly, but then I remembered that this book is one out of a series revolving around this/these character/s. In the beginning, Kimberla introduces the main characters: Curits Black, his wife Charlotte and his son Matthew. When Charlotte was 17 and Curtis was 37, they were sleeping together and she became pregnant with Matthew. They didn't stay together, but after all of Curtis' other marriages-yes there were multiple- and churches failed, he went back to Charlotte. Curtis' past involved dirty churches (as in he was scamming everyone), cheating on his wives and giving into certain temptations; with his first wife he has a 16 year old daughter who is named Alicia. Since Curtis wasn't exactly that great of a father, Alicia acted out in the regular ways, but took it to the point where she met a man online who she met up with in real life and he raped her. Curtis saw this as a turning point in his life, he didn't have his wife anymore, but he wanted to be the best father he could be. Also, there was a situation where he cheated on one of his wives with this psycho lady and she ended up shooting him and then committing suicide, and that is a giant turning point where Curtis decided it was time to skip town and start over. That is when he began seeing Charlotte again; they rekindled their love and got married. They started a church together in their new home and everything seemed to be going perfect, although Curtis wasn't making as much money as Charlotte had hoped(he made big bucks at his other churches). Anyways, all the sudden I discover that Charlotte is having an affair with Curtis' 'best friend'. His name is Aaron, and he tells Charlotte he loves her. Charlotte knows this is wrong and that she shouldn't be doing this, but there was something about this man that couldn't keep her away.Things kept escalating to te point where charlotte was going to hotels and ditching church meetings to hook up with Aaron. Curtis doesn't really know what the problem is but he knows that there has to be something more wrong with Charlotte to make her not make love to him, and its not her job thats causing that.
