Product Description

In Candice Dow's witty, sexy novel, a young woman finds that tragic beginnings can lead to happy endings--with a few surprises along the way. . .

Fatima Mayo had it all--a gorgeous, loving husband; a creative job as a romance editor; and a fabulous home in New York City. Then her husband died suddenly of a heart attack. Now, after three years on her own, she's decided to plunge back into the dating pool.

But when dating services leave her high and dry, her friend Mya jokes that Fatima will only find the perfect guy if she writes a script and hires an actor to play the role. . . and Fatima agrees. She will write a script--and Mya, a casting director, will find the leading man.

Good-looking, intelligent, and talented, Rashad Watkins fits the bill. But he soon realizes that while the money Fatima offers is good--her companionship is even better. What he feels for Fatima is the real thing. The hard part will be proving he's not acting. . .

From Booklist
Fatima Mayo realizes that it's time to start dating again, several years after the untimely death of her husband. She is still in her twenties, and this lovely, urban black woman has a lot of living left to do. Fatima enlists her best girlfriend's help, but after a failed online date and a professional fix up, she decides no one will ever come close to what she had with her husband. So, in a bold move, Fatima decides to not only list the requirements she has for the perfect man but also write a script detailing how he should behave in every conceivable situation. Several actors audition for the part, and she makes her selection. Has she come up with a realistic solution to the dismal dating scene? What is she to do with the feelings she develops for her "boyfriend"? Are they real if he is not? Dow presents an interesting conundrum wrapped in a hip contemporary story. Maria Hatton
