Xavier Preston is tall, dark, and handsome, and the problem is that he knows it. He's a bestselling author who is accustomed to adoring female fans, both young and old, flirting with him, throwing themselves shamelessly at him, and trying to get between more than the covers of his novels. He has always been more than willing to accommodate their needs and desires; however, his womanizing days have finally ended. He's engaged to a beautiful woman, Kendall, and he's decided to walk the straight and narrow. Or has he?
From outside appearances, the very stunning Pilar has it all: a great career, a beautiful home, and a trust fund that keeps her financially secure; however, looks can be deceiving. All that glitters isn't necessarily gold. Pilar is searching for her perfect soulmate, and she thinks she has found him in Xavier. She believes in going after what she wants with a vengeance . . . and she wants Xavier. That is not negotiable. She will have him, even if it kills him.
When Xavier meets his fanatical fan, Pilar, he gets much more than he bargained for. What starts out as an erotic one-night stand quickly spirals out of control into a dangerous game of obsession and pain with both parties playing to win.

Mercedes decided a long time ago that she'd never let a man walk all over her the way some women did. Love was something from fairy tales and TV movies of the week. She needed men for one thing only-and it had nothing to do with her heart. Growing up her mother made sure of that.
Now Mercedes has to travel home to southern Georgia, where her mama, Miss Betty, is recovering from surgery. Back to the rickety old house that holds a lot of memories for her. If she could only learn to deal with the bad ones…
Because a man has come into her life, a fine, bald-headed, churchgoing black man-the kind of man Mercedes never dared believe in. And she's going to have to get herself together to deal with what Darius is doing to her life-and what he's hiding about his own…

Here's a straight-up novel about men and women, sex and betrayal,
and playing the fool for love. Mia is a hopeless romantic who
dreams of getting married and settling down with the man who
could make that dream come true. Brice has his own ideas about
love. He wants a woman willing to surrender everything and he
thinks he's found her in Mia. Then again, so has Christian, who

met an angel with the power to turn him around. Unfortunately
she's married to his best friend.
"The Ties That Bind," by Electa Rome Parks, is a refreshing

the choices we make in life and the consequences we face because
of them." In this wonderful debut novel, you are

you'll even see yourself.

Praised for its "cutting-edge dialogue, intriguing characters, and
a spicy storyline," Electa Rome Parks's The Ties That Bind introduced
a savagely honest look at modern romance. Now, in a back-to-back
publishing event, Parks returns with her next novel of love and
friendship and the betrayals of both-some forgiven, some never
forgotten.
It's been five years since they trusted one another-and betrayed one another-
only as friends and lovers could. Beautiful Mia, getting a second chance at love.
Christian, who gave up his player card for the one woman he's not sure he can
trust. And Brice, as irresistibly bad as ever. One woman can tame him-if he'd
give her the chance: Kree, innocent but underestimated, and looking for the kind
of passion that can change a life. When she finds it, it's going to come with
a price. Sometimes, it doesn't take a lot to tear apart friends like these. All
it takes is love.
So begins "Loose Ends" by Electa Rome Parks, a refreshing and exciting
new voice in contemporary fiction. Sit back, relax and enjoy this steamy, provocative,
fast-paced, roller coaster ride as you are reunited with some old familiar friends
and introduced to some new, unforgettable ones. Hold on tight, as the road to
friendship, love and relationships is sometimes bumpy and scandalous deeds may
cause your stomach to flip flop at every unexpected turn.
