After nearly losing everything they treasure, Greg and Rena (Swingers)
move to Charleston, South Carolina to resuscitate their failing marriage. After endless hours of working hard to
successfully recapture the standard of living they once had, the couple decides to take a romantic cruise to Jamaica.
While on the cruise they meet another couple trying to save their marriage, Malik and Sheila (The S.W.A.P. Game).
Innocent conversations give way to the type of sexual tension most
people can only imagine. As a result, both couples find themselves being sucked back into the very lifestyle that nearly ended
their marriages. Still, the picturesque view of the ocean combined with the erotic desires of each one of them leave both
couples wondering if there is any harm in having one Final Fling.

Eve Spencer is having a tough year. Her step father
dies, her boyfriend walks out on her, leaving her to raise their infant daughter alone, and she is forced to move back in
with her controlling mother and teenage sister. Just about when she is ready to give up, Chris Riley, her best friend from
high school, returns to Dallas
and lifts her spirits. Their friendship seems to be moving toward romance, until a second guy, Damon, enters the scene and
gets Eve's attention with his suaveness and sex appeal. But Eve's life becomes more complicated because Damon and Chris are
brothers. In a moment of weakness, Eve betrays Chris by having sex with Damon. When Chris finds out about Eve being intimate
with his older brother, he wants to end their friendship. Eve is plagued with guilt. She can't imagine her life without Chris
and wants to fight to win him back, but she is also intrigued by Damon's confidence and finds herself being drawn to him.
Eve wonders if her trouble with men is because she felt abandoned by her biological father and never bonded with her stepfather.
Eve hopes she makes the right decision without someone, if not everyone, getting hurt in the end and soon realizes that there
are no rules in her twisted love triangle.
She has a secret...
The sassy sisters who hawk Tender Loving Care body products are on
a mission that goes way beyond fighting wrinkles. These lovely ladies are also undercover operatives in The Ladies Caretl
- the flip-side organization of TLC cosmetics. They are so deep under, even their families and spouses don't suspect their
real work or know their identities...
Executive assistant extraordinaire and TLC agent, sexy Savannah Fields
gets her next assignment - investigate corporate espionage at a construction site in NYC. But Savannah is in for the shock of her life when the
trail of the dirty dealings, deception and adultery leads right back to her neat suburban split-level... And her hunk of a
husband, Blake!
Donna Hill's sizzling original novel On the Line features
the entertaining voices of eighteen of your favorite authors, all brought together in an outrageous, sexy and irresistible
novel about a woman who discovers that if she can dish it out . . .she'd better be able to take it!
Joy Newhouse is
the diva of the airwaves, a relationship expert who scores big with listeners for her jaw dropping, scathing commentary on
men, women, sex--no subject is taboo for this provocative radio shock jock. When she's fired suddenly by new management,
Joy isn't happy off the air and out of the spotlight. So she writes a book that features her most titillating calls
and letters, a bestseller ripe with the kind of gossip intended to put Joy back where she belongs: on top.
Soon, however,
negative and righteous feedback from those listeners she exploited in her book stirs up a media scandal, giving Joy a crisis
of conscience--and a taste of payback. Perhaps it wasn't so wise of her to hitch her star to her readers' most personal
stories--tales of secret affairs, office romances, baby-daddy drama, swingers, sibling rivalry, job infighting and more.
Perhaps there's a better way to reinvent herself?
Drama is no stranger to Tiara James. When it felt like the world
had finally changed the hand that she’d been dealt, reality continued to creep up on her. With a mom on the verge of
becoming an alcoholic and an alcoholic crack-addicted father who use to beat her mom in front of her, who could blame Tiara
for finding a family on the streets.
Tiara’s loyalty to her friends was undeniable. The crew consisted of, Tiara,
Tamika, Shavon, Renee, Ke Ke and Karen. They jumped, robbed and fought other girls who stood in their way. When trouble surfaced,
the crew had no problems with getting their hands dirty. Tiara was faithful to her crew handling any drama that presented
itself. But when jealousy get’s the best of friends, things continued to get ugly.
With an older brother Tre James
wrapped deeply into the streets becoming a drug dealer at 13, their younger brother Sharod had no choice but to admire both
Tre and Tiara’s lifestyle. Tragedy continued to hit home and Tiara’s life continued to go down hill. She lost
people who she loved and trusted the most to death, jail or betrayal. From welfare, section 8, jail, drugs, abusive relationships
and lies, Tiara’s future seems uncertain. Will she finally rise above the drama that meets her at every corner, or remain
trapped in the jaws of the hood? Brace yourself as Tiara James takes you on a rollercoaster ride in her footsteps, in her
hood, telling her story.
Open the pages and take an unforgettable journey with Victoria Small, a smart,
savvy sister who’s fresh off a year-long, self-imposed hiatus—from men! Now that she’s ready to start dating
again, she gets more than she bargained for when Ted Thornton and Parker Brightwood enter her life.
Ted, a powerful
blue-eyed CEO, is drawn to Victoria, igniting a friendship that both delights and shocks her out of her comfort zone. Then
she meets Parker, a talented surgeon who showers her with tenderness, helping her to mend her once-broken heart.
In her
struggle to rationalize her growing feelings for the white man who loves her, and forge ahead in her relationship with the
ebony prince who fulfills her, she resurrects a painful secret she thought she’d buried long ago, and finds herself
doing things she never thought she’d do. Along the way she’s joined by a colorful cast of friends and foes as
she tests the boundaries of love, race, class and where she fits in.

Ambitious grad student Monica Winters, aka Alizé, can’t turn
down the chance to intern at one of the nations’ most prestigious companies. Even if it means working side by side with
Cameron Steele—the one man she’s ever loved, who’s now planning a wedding with another woman…
Hard-working single mom Latoya James, aka Moët, has made some mistakes,
but she’s finally healed her relationship with her religious parents. But then her baby’s father, a multi-platinum
rap artist, demands sole custody of their daughter, and she finds herself wondering how to hold onto her faith when she has
no choice but to fight dirty…
Struggling to maintain her sobriety, Keesha Lands, aka “Dom”
Perignon, gave up her lucrative stripper job and is working for minimum wage at her daughter’s daycare center. But it
turns out burying her past is harder than she thinks—and soon it will take every ounce of strength to resist her old
life...
When a New York socialite takes her under her wing, Danielle Johnson,
aka Cristal, finds herself tempted by the good life. But can her relationship with the sexy handyman who’s taught her
everything about love survive her fantasies of wealth?
Hungry For It
Fiona Zedde
Kensington
June 2008
Rémi Bouchard has enjoyed more than her share of delicious trysts amidst
the seductive sounds and glittering lights of South Beach. With good looks, limitless sex appeal, and the wealth and popularity
that comes from owning the city’s hottest jazz bar and restaurant, Rémi can seduce just about anyone she wants. But
lately, the allure of wild one-night stands and no-strings flings is starting to wear thin. Rémi craves something more—and
what Rémi wants, Rémi gets…
At her best friend’s wedding, Rémi looks across the crowd and
finds exactly what she’s been searching for—an intense, soul-searing connection. Now, on a journey of sensual
exploration that will take her from decadent after-hours clubs to South Beach’s most elegant nightspots, Rémi engages
in a tantalizing dance of seduction. But passion this deep has its dangers—especially when it means falling in love
with the one person who should be off limits...
Double Platinum
Shelia M Goss
Urban Soul
April 2008
To the world, R&B mega star Parris Mitchell
has it all: fame, money, jewelry and several gold and platinum records to go along with it. But now, with her singing career
declining, she struggles with depression. Her last few albums were disappointments not only to her record label because of
low sales, but to her devoted fans.
Casper Johnson is one of the hottest and most sought after producers in the music industry.
All of the media attention has garnered “The Hit Maker” a playboy image. He’s getting tired of the same
old sound and he’s looking for the right voice to help take his career to the next level. Parris agrees to give Casper
a chance to revive her career.
When they get together, their working relationship quickly crosses the line and their drama
from groupies and people from their past becomes the source of plenty of print for the paparazzi.
Once Upon a Project
Bettye Griffin
Dafina
April 2008
Elyse, Susan, and Grace couldn’t be happier when
their friend Pat organizes a reunion for past residents of the Chicago housing project where they all grew up. It is, after
all, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of its opening, and like their long-ago home, the lifelong friends are also turning
fifty. But none of them suspects the event will have life-altering changes…
Elyse plans to attend with her husband, but as usual lately,
he bows out, pleading fatigue. He’s thirteen years her senior, and Elyse fears he’s slowing down. But does that
mean she has to?
Susan also arrives alone. Her marriage is faltering since her
diagnosis of breast cancer. But when she runs into a former flame, it feels like time has stood still…
Twice divorced, Grace needs a distraction, and she finds it
in Eric. Once a cute kid four years Grace’s junior, Eric is now a handsome man whose age doesn’t matter—but
their differences in financial status might...
And forced by her parents to give up the love of her life after
a family tragedy, Pat never again found love. When an old friend from law school sees a media report about the reunion and
contacts her, will she at last find the love that's eluded her?
Now it’s time for four friends to kick off a new chapter
in each of their lives as past memories join with present temptations and future hopes…
Something on the Side
Carl Weber
Dafina
February 2008
Meet Tammy, Egypt, Isis, Nikki, Coco, and Tiny—the bodacious women of the Big Girls Book Club. There’s only
one rule to being a member. You must be at least a size 14…
BGBC president Tammy loves everything about her life—her two kids, her fierce friends, her BMW. She especially loves
taking care of business for her husband, Tim, for whom she’d do anything. This year, she intends to top all his past
birthdays by having a threesome with her best friend, Egypt. Now, if only Egypt will agree to grant them this very special
favor…
Isis’s boyfriend, Tony, romances her every chance he gets—and he knows how to turn up the heat, which makes
Isis willing to lay down and die for him. That is until a man from her past steps back into her life—with only one goal
in mind: win back the woman he’s never been able to forget.
But not every BGBC member is lucky with men. Once upon a time, single mom Nikki would have made love to her man in the
middle of Times Square for the entire country to see. Now that he’s her ex, it takes everything she has not to kill
him (or let her roommate, Tiny, do it for her), especially since he has a way of disappointing their son every chance he gets—and
then making her look like the bad guy.
And then there’s hot-to-trot Coco Brown, who has a habit of messing around with married men. It doesn’t bother
her, as long as they don’t try to deny it. But now that she’s hooked up with a man who makes his living being
every woman’s fantasy, all she cares about is making sure he doesn’t stray.
As insatiable about books as they are about love—or lust—these friends are about to discover how tough it is
to keep it real when they all have Something on the Side.
Strongholds
Vanessa Davis Griggs
Dafina
April 2008
When Pastor George Landris, the dreadlock-wearing minister
of the new mega-church, Followers of Jesus Faith Worship Center, urges his congregation to approach the altar and cast off
their strongholds—also known as their weaknesses—it’s the start of intense soul-searching for many.
From a married couple’s twin addictions to gambling and
gluttony, to a female member’s adulterous affair, a computer expert’s obsession with cyber-porn and a therapist’s
workaholism, the Pastor’s church family is about to open the proverbial floodgates. And that’s just the beginning.
There’s also the woman whose battle with mental illness hides a buried trauma, and the religious devotee who’s
so busy fearing the devil she’s forgotten what faith is really about. The plot only thickens when the Pastor’s
wife lightens his load by helping him counsel—and finds herself at the center of a decades-long deception.
Insightful, witty, and always poignant, Vanessa Davis Griggs
delivers another compelling novel, taking readers behind the scenes of mega-churches, and showing the amazing power that redemption
and faith can have on people’s lives.
Before I Let Go
Kimberly T Matthews
Urban Soul
April 2008
After waiting for what seemed like forever
to get a marriage commitment from her fiancé, Micah Abraham's wedding day has finally arrived. Everything is set for her to
have the wedding she'd always fantasized about, and has been fully paid for by her groom, Rossi Evans. There is only one thing
wrong...Micah won't be there.
Micah has long since reached the peak of her frustration.
Unbeknownst to Rossi, he's already been dismissed, but instead of declining his proposal and breaking the engagement, Micah
happily moves forward...with hidden intentions. Armed with Rossi's credit cards, Micah expertly feigns the role of an anxious
and ecstatic bride-to-be, sparing no expense for their wedding, yet telling no one of her plans. The day of the wedding, she
arrives as scheduled to the church for her hair and make up, then makes a request to her bridesmaids to allow her to spend
her last few moments of singleness by herself. Micah uses this opportunity to slip out the side door, jump in her rented car
and hot-foot it to the airport. By the time Rossi realizes that he (and the entire wedding party) has been standing at the
alter, Micah is in Charlotte, NC, easing into a tub of warm bubbles, enjoying a glass of wine and leafing through her favorite
magazine.
When Micah and Rossi's paths cross again, Micah is caught
totally off guard by the situation, and by the feelings that have been simmering deep inside her heart, despite her denial.
Will Micah embrace love this second time around, having set it free the first time?

Sleep Don't Come Easy
J.D. Mason and Victor McGlothin
Dafina
June 2008
National bestselling authors J.D. Mason and Victor McGlothin
combine their literary talents to deliver a double dose of intrigue...
“The Lazarus Man” by J.D. Mason
When a young female city employee is murdered, the case
brings together an unlikely team: an investigative reporter whose career is on the line, a lead detective who would rather
work alone, and an elderly, delusional homeless man named Lazarus who frequents the shelter where the victim volunteered.
Lazarus claims he witnessed the killing—though his hold on reality is questionable. But desperate times call for desperate
measures, and with the detective at the helm, the trio soon unearths a shocking truth no one would have ever suspected…
“Tomorrow’s Edge” by Victor McGlothin
Smart, sexy P.I. Vera Miles is an expert at finding people
who don’t want to be found. But her latest client is a rare, and possibly dangerous, exception: a handsome drifter with
amnesia who believes he’s killed someone—though he can’t remember who or why. Is the man guilty of murder
or innocent and in big trouble? With no clues, Vera takes a shot in the dark that sends her on a trail from the local diner
to the medical examiner’s office to the seedy digs of a street informant, all the way to the FBI. But as she gets closer
to solving the mystery, Vera wonders if her client is better off without his memory…
An American Gangster's Wife
Jerry Lucas
Kensingtion
March 2008

on the gritty streets of Newark. Jerry is tired of all the disappointments life has thrown her way. Now she’s ready
to do whatever it takes to live the American Dream. When Jerry meets Vernon during the infamous Newark riots, she begins an
intense love affair that leads to the break she’s been waiting for and a whole new world filled with money, houses,
cars, jewelry—and lots of drugs…
But with the man she loves by her side, Jerry is undaunted.
From the building of a $250 million empire to the jungles of Thailand and Vietnam; from lust, deceit, and family betrayal
to infidelity and imprisonment, Jerry’s bond with Vernon remains unbreakable—until she’s forced to pay the
greatest price of all...
The female side of the story to the hit movie American Gangster,
this riveting, compelling memoir reveals the fascinating life of one woman and the lengths she went to stand by the man she
loves…
Somewhat Saved
Pat G'Orge-Walker
Dafina
March 2008
Mother Sasha Pray Onn and Mother Bea Blister live on the edge—of Christianity, that is, and they’re
about to knock Sister Betty off her sanctified perch. As the senior citizen matrons of the Ain’t Nobody Saved but Us-All
Others Goin’ to Hell church, their devotion to the Lord must compete with their secret passions for gambling and grudges
against each other. But their long-held animosity is about to be complicated when the new pastor, the Reverend Leotis Tom,
wants to reorganize the Mothers Board in time for the upcoming Las Vegas Conference and asks a reluctant Sister Betty to run
for President.
After a scuffle at a secret Bingo game at the No Hope Now-Mercy Nevah church, the bumbling Reverend Bling
Moe Bling pacifies Mothers Blister and Pray Onn by giving them two tickets to Las Vegas where the annual Mothers Board Conference
will be held. In Vegas, Mother Blister befriends a destitute young woman named Zipporah who does something no one has ever
been able to: touch Mother Blister’s heart. But in trying to help her, Mother Blister finds out Zipporah’s past
might be at complete odds with Mother Blister’s present.
As the chaos and comedy get out of hand, so do the questions about who is who, who did what to whom, and where
and when. Just as surprising are the answers, which show that despite everyone’s best—or worst—intentions,
from cradle to grave, it’s God who is
