As God is My Witness Chantel Marie

Isla Ashanti Anderson, better known as Shanti, lives the life that every young woman dreams about. She has the luxury condo in Bal Harbour Florida, the designer clothes and handbags, and plenty of money at her disposal. However, all of these luxuries fall under the strict supervision of her neglectful mother and her overbearing father. Through her poetry and special love interest, Assistant Pastor Joshua Kendrim, her situation has grown tolerable, but not for long. Determined to gain her independence, and against her better judgment Shanti takes Josh up on an offer that's bound to bring in the cash flow. He introduces her to Blake who happens to be a well-known businessman in Miami. Blake introduces himself to Shanti as if he's in the trading business and entices Shanti to come aboard. But...sex trafficking was way more than Shanti bargained for. Blinded by Blake's money, looks and his charm Shanti ignores her first mind and quickly rises to the top in Blake's organization. Things quickly take a turn for the worse. The closer she gets to Blake the more his true colors are revealed and dirty little secrets come from the dark into the light. Shanti suddenly finds herself in a situation where she has to determine if obtaining more wealth and independence trumps getting revenge from the very person that is responsible for tearing her family apart. Combining love, greed, sex and money lands Shanti in a near death experience and more determined than ever to make it to the top and stay there!
