Official synopsis Publisher
Age is just a number, and whoever said that full-figured women don’t know how to bring fire to a relationship was sadly mistaken.
Carl Weber brings together two popular Urban Books divas to give readers what they’ve been asking for: passionate, empowering stories about the lives and loves of big, beautiful women.
Newly divorced, 40-year-old Desa Rae finds herself alone now that her son has gone away to college. She’s taken to her bed, watching life pass her by–until Roc, a 24-year-old with a jaw-dropping body comes along. Desa Rae can’t keep her eyes open or legs closed to a man who excites her like no other man has. But can she really be serious about a man who is almost the same age as her son?
Avery Belmont is a diva in her own right. Smart, sassy, and successful, she has always had it going on; so much so that not only did the full-figured beauty catch the eye of Duke, the sexiest dude on the block, but she encouraged him to leave the dope game and become legit. Now, seven years later, Avery is working hard and trying to move ahead, but it seems that Duke isn’t feeling the same way. Working with Kurt, her attractive coworker, isn’t helping her situation. Is the love between Avery and Duke strong enough to keep them together, or will the strength of that love make them realize it’s time to let go?
