According to the law of attraction, women and men can't be friends. Contrary to this myth, my friendship with Coriander Phillips does not rest on unrequited love or un-actualized lust. We've been inseparable since the day I pulled one of her pigtails and she punched me in the gut. She's hilarious, fun to hang out with. Together, we're like peanut butter and jelly, spaghetti and meatballs, wings and beer. A match made in heaven. She's the bomb. Did I mention she's smokin' hot? I've checked her out...maybe once or twice. Hey, I'm a guy. Seriously, no awkwardness, no secret yearning for our relationship to escalate beyond the purely platonic. I'm the boy friend-the loyal shoulder she cries on, the dispenser of coffee, sympathy, hugs, advice, and affection with no expectations. Until the invisible line between friends and lovers became blurry. Now I want more. I want her. All I have to do is convince her we can be more than friends. Right? If only it were that easy.

The Boy Friend

Twenty-seven year old, African-American, Minka Greene has to endure watching her twin sister marry the man she loves. Her weight is up, and her confidence is down. Not exactly the ideal time to meet the real man of her dreams. The Scale opens in Martha's Vineyard with Minka attending Keely and Blake's engagement party at Martha's Way, the beautiful inn owned and operated by the tall, blond, tattooed man with the piercing blue eyes. It just so happens Jason Montgomery is also Blake's childhood friend and the best man. Dealing with a whirl of emotions, Minka faints in Jason's arms. When she wakes up naked in Jason's bed after a night of passion, the Vineyard confirmed bachelor struggling with his own demons and the woman filled with self-doubt and pining for another man are joined in an experience that will change their lives.

The Scale

The best relationships usually begin unexpectedly. Puerto-Rican, American Liliana Serrano has never been one to let others determine her future-certainly not her pack of three overprotective brothers. She always stands on her own, which is exactly how she entered her arrangement with Adam Aquilani. The hot formula one driver is aloof, detached, and not interested in relationships. Fresh off a broken engagement with a cheating fiance, no-strings-attached sex was just what she needed. Except one year later, she never expected their hook-ups to have consequences. Haunted by his past, Adam Aquilani is a man who lives on the edge. The absence of commitment and emotional attachment in his year-long relationship with Lily was just what he needed. Until he discovers the rules have changed, and he must decide between letting her go, or giving her full access to his well-guarded life. As the two take a journey of discovery, secrets are revealed which test the strength of their connection. Can they accept what is? Let go of what was and accept what will be?"
