Be True to Yourself

Love was supposed to be a fairytale. Then the delta revealed its secrets.

Mo'Nikko Kohle is an eighteen-year-old romantic who still believes in unconditional love. While her best friend Phalisha drags her to the window to ogle the guys across the street, Nikko would rather lose herself in the pages of a novel, waiting for a love story worthy of her heart. But real life in Mississippi has other plans, and when a captivating stranger enters her world, Nikko discovers that passion and danger are closer than she ever imagined.

Surrounded by fierce loyalty and lifelong friendships, Nikko is drawn into a web of mystery and betrayal where nothing is what it seems. Ocean, a loving and devoted partner. Denim, a gentleman with a kind heart. Phalisha, the bold and unapologetic life of every room she enters. Each of them holds a piece of a puzzle that will test the bonds of trust, love, and survival in ways none of them could have predicted. When murder shatters their world, Nikko must decide how far loyalty should stretch and whether the people closest to her are worth the risk.

Set against the lush, gothic backdrop of Cleveland, Mississippi, Be True To Yourself is a sweeping tale of romance, mystery, and deadly secrets. Can Nikko hold on to what she believes in when the truth threatens to destroy everything and everyone she loves?
