Joy Newhouse is the diva of the airwaves, a relationship expert who
scores big with listeners for her jaw-dropping, scathing commentary on
men, women, sex—no subject is taboo for this provocative radio shock
jock. When she's fired suddenly by new management, Joy isn't happy off
the air and out of the spotlight. So she writes a book that features her
most titillating calls and letters, a bestseller ripe with the kind of
gossip intended to put Joy back where she belongs: on top. Soon,
however, negative and righteous feedback from those listeners she
exploited in her book stirs up a media scandal, giving Joy a crisis of
conscience—and a taste of payback. Perhaps it wasn't so wise of her to
hitch her star to her readers' most personal stories—tales of secret
affairs, office romances, baby-daddy drama, cheaters, swingers, sibling
rivalries, job infighting and more. Perhaps there's a better way to
reinvent herself?

in all, it’s been a turbulent year for Dr. Richard Vincent—but he’s
determined to stay on solid footing. He finally settled down with the
love of his life, the stunning Nina Epps. His young son, Nathan, is
adjusting to his new life, and Richard even opened his own dental
practice. Yes, things are looking bright for Richard—until his past

She’s outrageously sexy, and she’s not shy about letting men know what
she wants. Her last romantic fiasco all but destroyed her career—but

"yes" man to his scheming family's outrageous requests for years, until
a final devastating blow leaves him robbed of everything he's ever
thought he had. Knocked sideways by life, Nina and Richard are looking
for a way out, but what they find is a way in. Now they must both stand
firm and face the difficult challenges ahead, and as hope grows ripe,
they are about to discover love's endless ability to heal and sustain
when there's no way of knowing what the next day will bring.
