My Best Friend and My Man: a novel Synopsis The things women will do—to men and to each another—in search of love Veron Darcey is a twenty-something African-American woman who wants it all: a successful career, an upwardly mobile life, and a loving, attentive man. But the last few men Veron has been with have either added her to their five-woman rotation, or relegated her to the dreaded “just friends” zone. Demetria Sparks, Veron’s best friend, is a gorgeous woman who has something special—and men line up to paint her toenails and lavish her with Caribbean cruises and diamond rings. After one particularly bad date, Veron caves in and asks Demetria to share her secrets. Demetria tries to give her a mind-and-body makeover, but sweet Veron struggles with being aggressive. And when Demetria demonstrates her method on Veron’s dream guy, his lack of interest provokes her to pull out all the stops—and forces Veron into a fierce competition between mentor and student. With pressure (and sexual tension) mounting, Veron begins to wonder if changing herself is a mistake. But is it too late to back off her new game now that she’s gotten a juicy taste of just what she’s capable of? |
