Description

Age is just a number, and whoever said that full-figured women don't know how to bring fire to a relationship was sadly mistaken.

College senior Simone Davenport has set herself up for a very secure future, but all her achievements feel more like a duty than a labor of love. Her true love is singing R&B, but she doesn't believe her plus-size figure could ever be diva material. She settles for fading into the background in her father's church choir. It takes the help of Jaylen Richards, the handsome new choir director, to not only unlock her talent and bring her into the spotlight, but to unlock her heart.

Garcelle was never thin, but the fifty pounds she packed on after her sister's sudden death sent her way beyond the size 14 she used to be. She isn't lacking friends, but her insecurities about her size get in the way of things reaching the next level with men.

Flirting over the phone and via e-mail with Cortez is easy, since he's hundreds of miles away, but when business brings him to Garcelle's Chicago office, she is afraid he'll take one look at her and not even remember their conversations. She couldn't be further from the truth, and soon their romance blossoms; however, when lies are uncovered and things come undone, layers of Cortez are exposed. Did he play on her insecurities for his own selfish gain, and is he just more dead weight she will eventually have to lose?
