Vashti Levine, daughter of two prominent doctors, is the opposite of everything she’s expected to be. Because of that her parents, namely her father, holds the reigns of her life pretty tight. At twenty-four years old, she’s still treated like a teenager, having to ask permission to even leave the house. Educationally, she’s done everything they’ve required, but they still won’t allow her to live her life. This is the main reason for her rebellion. Enjoying her sexual freedom when she can, she stumbles upon Jedrek Harris. He makes her feel things she’s never felt, but she insists that he isn’t a long-term option. Jedrek Harris hasn’t had the world given to him. In fact, he’s working to give his mother the world his dad died trying to give. Going to school and working to get him and his mother out the ghetto has been his main priority until he sees Vashti Levine. Her aura draws him in, and when he finds out that she isn’t as off limits as he thinks, he makes a leap, trying to convince her that with him is where she should be. When they meet, it’s automatic combustion, lust at first sight, despite their noticeable differences. Obstacles from trying to obtain forbidden fruit, causes some turmoil. The two of them play tug of war with their emotions, trying to avoid the inevitable. Will Jedrek be able to convince Vashti, that despite their differences, they are destined to be?

Starting with poetry, writing has always been a constant in Monica's life. The interest began in her teenage years, being in love for the first time. Her love for writing has only progressed. Song lyrics and poetry led to short stories, then one day in her down time, a short story became a 56k word novel. It has been non-stop since then. Being a wife and mother, has only added to the joys of Monica's life. Attaining a BS in Sociology, helping her better understand people and their behaviors, has only helped her become a better writer, understanding characters and their complex personalities. Romance of all types has been her passion, and she plans to continue honing her skills in that genre.
