In Fear of Losing You: Reprinted Version

by Ericka K.F. Simpson

After her first love moved on to find someone who would show their love, Kelly “Sweets” Owens made a vow to not let love pass her by twice. Unfortunately, with the women she dates, Sweets’ over eagerness to please them becomes a repellent and she scares off every potential mate she pursues. Her unsatisfactory record in obtaining a new love leaves her even more heartbroken and confused. At the advice of the couple she hopes to imitate, Sweets makes up her mind to try and take time out from dating and heal her inner wounds which begins with loving herself. Will Sweets’s attempt at self-healing help her to be able to find the love she yearns for or will she let it slip through her suffocating arms again? For Katrina “Kat” Stanton, love was something she did not want to experience at all. Kat maintains her sex life with the same control and mindset as her work, all business. Her dominating but feminine demeanor makes it easy for her to terminate existing relationships under her own “rules before engagement” terms. Then one day, Kat meets an intriguing woman, causing her to subconsciously step outside her comfort zone and feel the love she so desperately tries to steer clear of. Will this new interest be able to keep Kat’s eyes on the prize of love or will Kat allow her fears to compel her to miss love?
