Deep in the heart of Jefferson, Texas lies the secret to the mysterious
nightmares tormenting James Adams, a handsome, successful eye doctor. As the
eldest of nine children, he has been the head of the family since the brutal
murder of his womanizing father during his senior year of high school. He
thought he put that day and his difficult childhood behind him when he left his
hometown. Now, his siblings are grown and everyone is dysfunctional except
James--he thinks--until chance reunites him with his sexy, high school
sweetheart, Tracy. Along with Tracy, comes a host of problems. A scorned woman
starts rumors about his sexuality because she doesn't believe he's really
celibate.
His mother begins dating a man he doesn't approve of and one of his brothers is
arrested on serious charges. While James struggles to balance the demands of his
family, work, and Tracy, the past comes knocking--threatening his future.
Encouraged by his best friend,
certified playa and cosmetics consultant, Ren Kinney, James steps into a risky
mental maze of love and lies to discover what really happened the day his daddy
died.

If the wrong opportunity came along at the right time....what would you do??
Santee Mitchell seems to keep coming up short in life. At least that's how it
seems in her mind. Growing up she constantly played second best to her older
sister Sonya, and in adulthood, the patterned
painfully continues. She's stuck with a two-timing, drug-dealing boyfriend,
while her sister lucked up and hooked a professional ball player.
Her money is always running short, when it ran at all. The
last straw comes in the form of an eviction notice coupled with an ill-timed
pregnancy. Determined to turn her luck around, as well as put some money in the
bank, Santee turns to her best friend Monique and is
immediately hypnotized by the sparkle of her diamond encrusted world. But what
she doesn't realize is that help from Monique comes with a price. A price that
not even Santee is willing to pay. Haunted by a fire that still burns for her ex
and driven by a wanton lust for a trick turned savior, Santee's plan starts to
unravel and it may be too late to right her wrongs when Monique turns up dead
and she is fingered for the gruesome crime; revealing a secret that changes her
forever and forcing her to look for answers in the one place she's tried to
avoid - inside herself.

With law school behind her, this sexy, sinful seductress has graduated to
bigger--and badder--things...
Raven Holloway has gone from heartbreaker to bona fide homewrecker. No sooner
did she extract herself from a messy, not to mention illegal "situation" at
school, than she managed to steal a Texas Senator from his devoted wife. But
she's just getting started...
Having convinced her new husband to run for governor--which will make her
Texas's First Lady--nothing's going to stop Raven from getting what she wants,
no matter who she has to step on, sleep with, or double cross. It's a long chain
of fools that includes the senator's very own chief aide--a man with plenty to
hide....
Her pathway to success strewn with seductions, betrayals, and bribes, the future
looks bright--except for the troubling matter of Raven's past. Her greatest fear
is that her involvement in the unfortunate fate of her fellow student, ex-lover
and partner-in-crime, Omar Faxton, will be discovered. And she's right to worry,
because her dirty little secret is about to fall into the worst possible
hands...
