Anita Doreen Diggs – författare

In the rarefied world of Manhattan publishing, most of the intrigue takes place in the books. But all that is about to change for respected editor Jacqueline Blue. . . It''s not easy being one of the few African Americans in an overwhelmingly white industry. Yet, until now, Jackie''s biggest problem has been her unrequited love for Victor Bell, a handsome member of the Black Pack, her weekly professional group. Does Victor prefer tall women? Light-skinned sisters? But then comes the morning her boss is suddenly murdered. It seems that Jackie was the last person to see Annabelle Murray alive--and the circumstances were not pretty. Jackie''s fingerprints are all over the crime scene and, to make matters worse, she had sworn not to tell anyone why she was invited to her boss''s home in the first place. And just as everything is hitting the fan, Victor asks her out to dinner. Jackie knows that when it rains it pours--but now she''s knee-deep in hot water--and bailing herself out will be the toughest challenge she''s ever faced. . .

She''s also a real daddy''s girl who believes that her police detective father is the most infallible man on the planet. Twenty-four-year-old Asha is a fiercely independent career woman and serial dater who has no intention of settling down--or giving up meat of any kind.

Shaken, Saundra flees to the only place that feels safe: Asha''s house. But will living under the same roof bring healing--or be the worst mistake yet for two sisters who couldn''t be more different?
