Reesa's a savvy financial planner with one goal--to have a baby before thirty-five. But to do that, she's got to do one of two things: dump her current man, Simon, and find another man more suitable to be husband and father, or settle with Simon and work overtime trying to train him for the starring role. At thirty-three, getting rid of Simon to find Mr. Right is a chance Reesa's not willing to take. But when she's had enough of Simon's antics and kicks him to the curb, will her goal change? Carmen's been with her man, Anthony, for over three years and has never hesitated to cater to his needs and wants no matter how chauvinistic, insensitive, and rude he can be. Not even Anthony's mother is enough to make her call the relationship quits--even though she thinks about it every day. Then along comes Jordan. Smooth, fine, older, and yearning to be hers, Jordan is ready to give Carmen everything she wants. Carmen can only fight the temptation for so long before she finally gives in. But will an unexpected pregnancy ruin everything? Erica wants a real man to satisfy her soul, but she's not looking for one. Tired of dealing with brothers who think that the key to a woman's heart is bling-bling, and fed up with the brothers who want a lighter shade on their arm, Erica gives up on looking for love and settles for occasional dates and one-night stands. But just when she's found her groove, her ex comes barreling back into her life in a major way, taking Erica through the emotional wringer. Reesa, Carmen, and Erica know that life and love isn't easy, but they never expected the drama in between these pages.
Dwayne S. Joseph began his writing career at the age of thirteen. Commandeering his parent's computer, he sat for hours on end creating dramatic stories of fiction that earned him the "best story teller in the Joseph household" moniker. He then went on to win second place in the National Scholastic Writing Competition during his senior year in high school, for a short story he wrote, titled "Playtime" (A story that he does plan to develop into a children's tale someday soon!) The novels at thirteen and the short story in his senior year all helped to propel him on the destined path to becoming a published author at the age of 27, with the release of his first novel The Choices Men Make.
With ten drama-filled novels under his belt, including The Womanizers, Never Say Never, If Your Girl Only Knew, In Too Deep, Til' It's Gone, and short story contributions to four anthology collections, most notably, the Essence best seller, Around The Way Girls, Dwayne has consistently set out to entertain his readers with scenarios and characters that they love and love to hate.
It's all about growth for Mr. Joseph. He strives to grow and improve with each novel because he feels that's what the readers deserve. And that's just what he is determined to do as he is now taking a walk down a much different literary path with the release of his latest two novels, Home Wrecker and Betrayal--darker novels filled with more suspense, more intensity, more violence, more mystery and sex.
With half of his life spent in Brooklyn, New York, the other half spent in Harrisburg, PA, Dwayne now calls Maryland his home where he lives with his wife and three children, where they never fail to wear their New York Giants jerseys every Sunday during the football season! He is currently hard at work on his next novel for 2011!
