Jasmine Lace
Wife. Mother of two. Educator and sometimes language student. Traveler. Rum drinker. Proudly sings off-key. Jasmine enjoys going down memory lane with her musicology collection of Motown, 90's R&B, Hip Hop, NeoSoul and some old school rock. She loves being a film geek and weekend foodie. As a child, Jasmine would create fictional dramas with her Barbie dolls, giving her brother's G.I. Joes the leading male roles. Now every free moment Jasmine has is spent lost in a story that reflects the American not many write about. The backdrop to her stories are similar to the multicultural world she was raised in California. She is a versatile writer who enjoys writing quirky romances with characters of questionable morals and strong black female protagonist. When asked to describe her work, Jasmine simply said: "My writing is inspired by my experiences. Good or bad, I have to thank everyone who has been in my life to give me those stories to tell".

To the workaholics, remember to never turn down an opportunity to fall in love.
Chapter One
Mya Basset stepped out of the town car with her curly hair pulled and gelled back into a side bun at the base of her neck. She felt more like an imposter than a legitimate member of the Hollywood film circuit.
She nervously readjusted the shoulder line of her long green off-shoulder lace dress, which exposed her smooth, brown shoulders. Its light fabric laid comfortably across her large breasts. Layers of fabric created ruffles at the end of her dress which hid her thick thighs and shapely calves.
It was a last-minute, expensive purchase. The price tag stayed intact at the back of Mya’s neck. The occasional scratch from the hard, cardboard paper reminded Mya that she would be able to return the $1200 dress the next day.
And her newly broken in, matching green heels added a couple of inches to her usual 5' 5" height.
Taking out her pocket mirror, she looked over her make up. Emerald eye shadow was brushed across Mya’s almond shape eyes. The striking color perfectly complimented her dark caramel skin. A touch of blush rounded her high cheek bones, framing her cute flat nose in the middle. The tint of reddish brown, like the color of sand in the Outback, was painted on her thick lips.
Next, Mya checked her matching green purse for the hundredth time, making sure her customized business cards were still there. She had had them made a year ago. In anticipation of her promotion to publicist at Iris PR firm, she had made the cards prematurely to motivate her to push for her dream. Now, the first step of her dream was finally coming true. She was getting a chance to prove her ability to represent her PR company and exercise her contact skills.
For almost four years, she had worked as a PR assistant for Kyle Ross. Underappreciated and overused for minimal pay.
Mya remembered the first time she had walked into Kyle's office. She had been an excited graduate from University of Alabama. After having applied to hundreds of Public Relation firms, Iris PR on Hollywood Blvd had called her in for an interview. She had been so juiced as she crossed over Sidney Poiter’s star to enter the black and grey office building.
Later, Mya had been full of nervous energy when she had sat down in front of Kyle. Not just because of the prospect of finally getting her foot into the door of Hollywood, but also because of her hot interviewer.
Kyle's suit had given his 6" well fitted form a slick, stylish look on his lean, muscular body. Mya had thought he was sexy in his light blue shirt. He had had the first two buttons open as if he was setting up to model for a photo shoot for Hugo Boss. Later, she would find out that he rarely wore ties except for special occasions.
Kyle’s pale cheeks and chin were smooth. Kyle's blonde hair was cut short on the sides and back. An inch of it was gel back on top of his head.
Many women found his appearance attractive, until he opened his self-entitled cocky mouth.
He had looked at her resume before he flicked those confident brown eyes up to meet her anxious stare and said, You look and sound very …. articulate for a... huh...country girl.
He had slowly recovered from his borderline racist statement.
Mya had learned how to smile through the cloaked language. He wasn't the first white boy to be surprised that people of color were intelligent. If he spoke to more of us, he might know that, she thought. He probably only dated white blond girls, anyway. Wait, why do you care? Stay focus.
He had interrupted her thoughts by saying, You just graduated and have no experience in publicity, or know anything about Los Angeles?
Mya hadn’t been sure if he was making a statement or asking her a question.
Not many last in this office for very long,
he had added.
Mya had begun to feel uncomfortable under his long stare as it intimately swept down her body, taking pauses at her breasts and legs. She had unconsciously folded her arms across her chest and closed her legs tightly together. Mya had felt as if he knew exactly what she looked like without any clothes on.
I think, however, you have exactly what we need here,
he had suddenly smiled. Welcome to the team.
After his announcement, he had stood and took both her hands in his, Mya had stood up, as well. Her head had had to pull back to look into his face. She had watched in horror as he brought her hands to his nose and lightly breathed in their scent.
With an exhale, he had said, This is a start of a beautiful friendship.
Mya had laughed after a beat when she realized his old film reference.
Funny,
she had said as she tried to back out of his reach. Suddenly, she was a bit uncomfortable
