Unofficial Study Guide: Rich and Rotten by Jahquel J.
Timeline, Chapter Highlights and Key Characters
With hundreds of thousands of us out there, we still can’t solve a Jahquel J. mystery to save our lives. LOL. Now, I’ll be the first to admit: whatever question you have… I probably don’t know the answer. But what I do know how to do is take a solid set of notes.
So, below you’ll find my notes on Jahquel J’s recent release, Rich and Rotten.
I absolutely love this story, but like most books by this author, I knew from the start it would demand a very specific kind of attention. So, here are the basics of the story:
In Greenwich Pointe’s world of Black wealth and power, Tatiana Rich has everything money can buy—except freedom. When her kingpin father forces her into a strategic marriage with the Sterling dynasty’s heir, she begs Nazir Kane—the man she fell for during her college years—to run away with her.
By morning, he’s vanished without a word.
A decade later, Tatiana is rebuilding her life after her husband Karim’s tragic death. While raising their daughter and growing her luxury spa empire, an assassination attempt on her father brings an unexpected guardian: Nazir Kane—now a powerful security specialist assigned to protect her family.
Living under the same roof as the man who shattered her heart is torture enough. But as old flames reignite, darker truths emerge about the father who controlled her and the husband she mourned.
With enemies closing in and whispers that her husband’s death wasn’t an accident, Tatiana must decide if the man who once betrayed her is the only one who can save her now . . .

A quick disclaimer: these notes are COMPLETELY UNOFFICIAL. They have not been reviewed, edited, or created in collaboration with the author, so there may be mistakes. I’ve done my best to flag where I’ve taken liberties or drawn my own conclusions, but ultimately, this is a working document.
Please feel free to read through, compare, and share your own notes, because clearly… we need all hands on deck to get to the bottom of this
