His Story: "I could have any chick at West Dade Senior High, but I went after the one I was told couldn’t be broken, Ms. Patrick, my English teacher and my coach’s ex-wife. It started with me proving something to myself, but ended with me trying to prove to her that I was all the man she’d ever need." Her Story: "I struggled to treat him like any other student. All I asked was that he arrive to class on time and I encouraged him to complete class assignments. However, the lustful way he looked at me, the intimate things his words implied, and the way his fingers taunted my skin, was powerful enough for me to put my career on the line." The Truth: A thirty-two-year-old teacher entered an inappropriate relationship with a student, but what the headlines didn’t say was that the student, Theo Lakewood, was eighteen (of legal age), extremely handsome, a senior, and a star basketball player at West Dade Senior High, relentlessly pursued her, ceaselessly studied her, and painstakingly seduced her. Of course she could’ve ignored his advances, but she welcomed him with open arms. Only a Fly on the Wall would know exactly how he conquered her. Ever wish that you were a Fly on the Wall? Wish no more. Spread your wings and get ready to read all of the juicy forbidden details from behind closed doors with Theo and Paige. |
Sarai Emery loves her life. Enclosed in a luxurious penthouse-style apartment just minutes from the South Beach, Sarai drives a tricked-out S.U.V. and sports a Beyonce-worthy hair weave, but what Sarai prizes above all else is Damian Carter, the man who makes this whole overpriced lifestyle possible. Despite all the bling, Sarai is drowning in debt. Her job as a radio personality doesn’t come close to covering her student loans or her mounting credit card balances, not to mention the bills for her father’s nursing home care. Sarai never realizes just how far beyond her means she is living until it’s too late. Faced with Damian’s string of infidelities, Sarai has no choice but to kick her man out, but when Damian leaves, so does his bank account. With bills due, cable disconnected, and the nursing home threatening to evict her father, Sarai can do little more than hope for a miracle. When a sweet-talking stranger propositions her to do the unthinkable, Sarai feels she has little choice but to take the plunge into a world where the line that separates love and financial gain is blurred beyond recognition. What Sarai never expects this late in the game is for salvation to walk in the door in the form of a man who shows her that true love has nothing to do with material things. Struggling to keep her other life a secret from this irresistible new man, Sarai feels herself coming undone, but a head-on collision between her separate worlds is fast approaching. In Going Broke, Trista Russell delivers a suspenseful, deliciously unpredictable portrait of one woman’s hard road to romantic redemption. |
