Excerpt
"'What?' Nina picked up the paper and scanned it in shock.
It looked like a court order, but her head was spinning and
she could barely make out the words.
'You're still married,' Pam said with a sinister grin.
'And that means my boo needs his half of the money. Then
we'll be on our way.'
Nina felt her knees weakening as she read the paper.
'That is an official court document. Youll notice on
line three, a divorce was initiated in February of 2008,
yet it was never finalized,' Mr. Behar said.
'That's ridiculous,' Nina said, tossing the paper back
on the table. 'Our divorce was finalized.'
'Not,' Pam chirped.
'I'm sorry, it was not,' Mr. Behar reiterated. 'Hence,
my client is entitled to half of the lottery winnings.' He
turned to Mrs. Hartwell and handed her some papers. 'Here
is their marriage certificate, as well as a copy of the
paperwork I just gave Mrs. Lawson.'
'Oh, my,' Mrs. Hartwell said as she took the pages.
'This is crazy,' Nina protested. 'We are divorced. He
left me to go be with that tramp.' She pointed at Pam.
'That's rich tramp to you,' Pam remarked snidely."

The Devil Is a Lie
Nina Lawson just won millions in the Powerball lottery and she and her fiancé Rick can’t wait to build their future on it. Except all that glitters isn’t gold…including the hordes of money-hungry friends and family members who start looking for a piece of the pie. But the worst of all is when Todd, Nina’s ex-husband, reveals their divorce papers were never filed—and as her legal husband, he’s entitled to half! It doesn’t matter that he’s engaged to be married to Pam, the woman he fooled around with to end their marriage in the first place. The situation soon spirals out of control as Nina risks losing her heart and her head along with her winnings. She will have to summon every ounce of faith to get through this.

The Devil is a Lie was an eye opener. I really enjoyed this book and recommend to others. Sometime we get stuck on what we don't have and what we would do if we had this or that, but in reality, we need to be blessed for the things we do have. The characters in this book learned this the hard way. I highly recommend this book and Ms. Billingsley, keep up the good work!
