About this ebook
Without even trying, Charisma has caught the eye of Nate, her new manager. Despite their nine-to-five cat and mouse games, she insists that she doesn't "do" her bosses—until she discovers that her white coworker, Chase Martini, is also interested in Nate.
Tangie's boyfriend, Blade, is constantly doing things that reaffirm her belief that all men are dogs. But what's a woman to do when the sex is sizzlin'? Will she be any better off when FBI agent Tony Banks steps in and sweeps her off her feet?
Heather's low self-esteem and "body by Haagen Dazs®," prevent her from seeing her true beauty. When a former classmate offers Heather some powerful diet pills, there's a steep price attached.
As best friends Charisma, Tangie, and Heather deal with issues of race, relationships, and body image, they remind each other that "behind every successful woman is herself!"
