Tinsel Town is about to learn a few lessons from a Southern doctor with the courage to win the heart of a man who swore no woman ever would. If it doesn’t have a scientific basis, Dr. Laney Olivia Houston doesn’t believe in it —and that includes love at first sight. But she meets Raphael Baptiste. One encounter is all it takes; and she realizes her life is changed forever.

Jazz musician, Raphael Baptist is no stranger to women or their beds. When an illness strikes, his life is thrown into turmoil. But the quiet Southern belle sees beyond his past and bitterness. She sees a man who could love. . .

Re: If I Were Your Woman

Sometimes the 'touchy topic' is necessary in order to make us reasses our own lives, right???
(Karin Tillotson 1:17pm April 9, 2010)

If the story line isn't a bit
touchy, either in a good way
or a bad way, then what's the
point. As Karin said, it makes
us sit back and wonder if we
have done all we could. We
don't need books that pat us
on the head and say that it's
okay. We need books that kick
us in the seat of the pants
and say "Why didn't you do
more?"

"Touchy subjects" are a fact of life. To itnore them is to keep one's head in the sand.
(Gladys Paradowski 3:25pm April 9, 2010)

I tend to remain extremely calm while asking the hard questions on touchy subjects. You know I like to find out where the mind is at and the reasons behind the behavior in real life and with characters in books.
(Alyson Widen 4:38pm April 9, 2010)

Touchy topics are relate-able. We all have experiences that we can draw upon.
(Mary Preston 5:51pm April 9, 2010)

I love all of your books,so keep doing what you're doing. Sometimes you have to step out and take on a giant. Your boks are about things that affect the real world and it feels natural reading them.
(Brandi Evans 7:06pm April 9, 2010)

I believe that you have to write what your heart and mind tell you to. Difficult subjects shouldn't be ignored because we are afraid to face them.
(Rosemary Krejsa 8:03pm April 9, 2010)

These topics need to be dealt with.
Those people that must deal with these
problems still have lives and still deserve
a happily ever after. Keep writing away
tackling those touchy topics.
(Patricia Barraclough 10:24pm April 9, 2010)

Sometimes I find it very hard to read a book with a "touchy" subject. However, when I do, I feel it gives me a welcome insight, the author's, into a subject that I might never encounter in real life. Thanks for sticking to your guns and insisting on getting these touchy books published. May they open the readers' eyes. I'll be looking for your books.
(Sigrun Schulz 12:35pm April 10, 2010)

I think it's the books that touch upon more touchy subjects that make the most interesting reads so I highly encourage you to keep on doing what you're doing.
