A beautiful, savvy, and intelligent woman of color, Carmel Delarue has just landed the job of her dreams – and although she doesn’t know it yet, she could land the man of her dreams as well.
As she works her way up the corporate ladder, she shows herself to be a team player with innovative and well-thought-out plans for achieving her goals. Nevertheless, her personal life challenges her abilities as she is “Chased” by one unsuitable admirer after another. There is Randall, who is married with persistent, lustful intentions. And there is Craig, a former lover on the rebound. Finally, there is Durrell Chase, her boss!
Although she vows to herself that she will remain professional at all costs, Carmel finds herself in the inevitable position of developing a powerful attraction for Chase.
Romantically suspenseful, with unexpected developments and near-misses of the heart, author Henrietta D. Elmore-Smith gives us a peek into the life of a woman who is “Chased” for more than just her looks.
Other Book:
In the late 1970s, families of color began their transition into neighborhoods distinctly and traditionally new to them. The same was so for Berkeley Hills, a prim community that dwells outside Berkeley, California. It’s where three young girls formed a steady friendship that was marked by devotion, trust, promises, secrets, and fire.
Mashé Boston, Rhial Curry, and Eila Wynston lived on the same block. In addition to race as their common thread, they shared many qualities that bonded them indefinitely—Mashé, the virtuous one; Rhial, characterized as unassuming; and Eila, moderately eccentric. From elementary school to college at the University of Miami, and into adulthood, nothing and no one cleaved their bond. Mashé pursued the humanities; Rhial had the aptitude for high-end marketing; and Eila sought an opportunity in city government. With the occasional challenges that come with life, coupled with their similarities and differences, their relationship was virtually invincible until it was time to plan a lavish wedding.
Mashé, Rhial, and Eila were tossed into an emotional whirlpool. The events that followed had all the makings for combustion. The biggest challenge was who was to blame. They preferred to empower themselves to resolve this flaring development without the intervention of outsiders.
In Black Cherry, author Henrietta D. Elmore-Smith has created a saga defining the true characteristics of friendship. When those characteristics are tested, who will withstand the trials?
