Monica is a dynamic force to behold; both as a no nonsense, public relations rep (with Handle Up Records), and as a beautiful, vibrant woman. She's committed to her career, especially after the nightmare she had lived thru with her ex. Monica literally ran into Dray, her new boss, at a party she put together for an up and coming female singing group. Sparks flew but they weren't "all good!" Hurtful words were thrown out by Dray and Monica. So why couldn't they stop thinking about each other? And what' secret is being hidden?
Colorful, likeable characters, witty conversations and a good storyline draw you into this urban drama. First in a series.
