Book excerpt: “Other Women’s Husbands” by Anna J: Nobody wants a bone but a dog. That’s been Zaria’s motto for as long as she can remember. Gorgeous in the face and thick in the waist, she drapes every inch of her plus-size frame in nothing but designer if for no other reason than her own insecurities. She has to stay on point because in her world, she can’t be fat and sloppy at the same time. She thinks she has met the love of her life in Tariq, but she soon finds out he’s just like the rest of them—only with her for her clout, and still a cheater. Zaria makes the decision to play the same game everyone else is playing. No one’s husband is off limits. Will Tariq learn from this flip in the script, or will he lose his wife forever? “Whole Lotta Lovin’” by Honey: Thick in the waist with the most gorgeous face has always been the best description of Harmony Baxter. She has a pleasant personality and the IQ of a genius. Unbeknownst to most, Harmony also has the voice of a soulful angel. She’s managed to keep her rich, velvet timbre a secret, simply blending in, until a handsome, sexy teddy bear of a choir director comes along. The brother has so much swagger that he makes Harmony want to sing seductive lullabies and rock him to sleep in her bed every night. After a sex scandal at his former church, Dorian Hendrix is blessed with a second chance with a new congregation in Atlanta. He still loves pretty women and “grown folks’ activities,” but he’s vowed to be more careful this time around—until he accidentally discovers a secret about his most loyal choir member. Will Dorian’s past as a hardcore player hinder his chances at making a love connection with Harmony? And will her insecurities stop her from lifting her voice in song and sharing all the love and passion in her heart with a brother who is ready to receive it?
