Book Description
The couples we love are back with more drama and twists and turns. After the death of Dezmond, Jazzie has released him and all of her past hurts-or so she thought, until an unexpected situation connects them together. Can she ever be free of him, or will he still haunt her-even after death? Jazzie battles with the decision to move on with her life, but should she wait on the man who use to love all of her, or welcome a new flame? Maine is still trying to cope with the hurt of Jazzie's betrayal and finds himself in a different bed that leads to ugly situations. Can he find someone to take Jazzie's place or will he settle down with Hollywood? Hollywood never expected to fall in love with Maine but she did, and now she wants the same from him. She feels he's overly stuck on stupid in his feelings for Jazzie, and it makes her sick to her stomach. Can she make him see that she is all the flame he needs? Tori and Truth's love for each other is stronger than ever but is Tori willing to seek help so she give him the little girl he wants? Eric and Trinity are back in Tampa for good, living under the same roof. Has Trinity matured enough to make their relationship work, or will she send Eric out to look for a new flame? The girls are taking Hot Nasty on a roller-coaster ride with all the drama in their lives, but there is some good in it. At least he finds himself talking to the Lord more often-even if he's only asking why He place him in a circle with a bunch of stuck on stupid fools. Can he live through the stress?

Book Description
This is a true story of a woman growing up in a life of privilege. With good family background and all the right things, nevertheless she found herself chronically incarcerated and homeless, due to drug and alcohol addiction.

Her compelling experience is one that many will see in themselves or a loved one. The author tells how she could not move forward without God's mercy and love, and tells how her life was saved and changed by the grace of Jesus Christ. There was no escape until she became willing to confess that Jesus is the only way. She shows how the power of God's Word can bring miraculous life changes for anyone who is willing.

Book Description
Theo Prescott is better off alone. A successful divorce attorney, he knows that relationships don’t last, true love isn’t real, and fairy tales are the stuff of fantasy. Deep down, he knows if he let himself fall for someone, he’d only end up causing pain. And he refuses to do that to anyone—including and especially his best friend, Lauren. Even if she’s gorgeous, ambitious, and smart. Warm and funny. Talented and quite possibly perfect for him. Lauren MacKinnon has been pining after Theo for the better part of a decade. He’s sexy, intelligent, thoughtful and makes her laugh harder than anyone else. He’s her best friend, but if he knew how she felt about him, he’d run for the hills. She’s well aware of how he feels about love and relationships. And as much as her unrequited feelings hurt, she’s not willing to risk their friendship for an impossibility. Lauren knows it’s time to move on, so when her friends suggest Theo set her up on a blind date, she agrees. But when Theo realizes that he can’t handle watching Lauren with another man, sparks just might fly.
