by Kelly Alex (Author)

Darryl McCloud had been unlucky in love meeting the worst kind of females. When he did meet one that had her head on straight, things didn't work out. That left him fed up with the chase. Enter Jennifer Parker, the sister of his best friend Jason's girlfriend Rebecca. Jennifer was just returning home from college and still reeling from having her heart broken by her first real love. After a rocky beginning and an unexpected encounter, they became friends.

Darryl found himself in love, but Jennifer was adamant about not wanting to get into a relationship, though at times her actions said otherwise. With his feelings growing every day, Darryl picks Jennifer's birthday party in July to make a move fearing he was entering the "just friends" zone. It backfires and he was asked to leave. Darryl goes into a mood swinging depression that threatens his job status and sanity. Jennifer regrets overreacting and wishes she had the chance to do it all over again. While out of town for the Fourth of July, she decides to come clean about her feelings for him when she gets back. Upon returning home, she pays an unannounced visit to his house only to find Darryl with another female. Later, Darryl hears something from Jason that has him pay an unannounced visit only to see her with another man. Both instances were not what they appeared to be.

Will these two ever get together and have the conversation that reveals all? Love was in the air. Darryl's friends, widowed father, and born-again Christian younger brother all found unexpected love. Darryl's take on love is, "It's a dirty four-letter word, the other dirty four-letter word."
