Xza

Family. Friends. Fight for what's important. Outspoken author XZA lives her private life as independent, dry-humored Xan Alexander. When chemistry ignites with Michael, a fan and book reviewer, Xan's prepared for a fling and nothing else. Michael's charm keeps the door open, but after ten years together, Xan has to face the facts. She can cling to the family tragedy that made her swear off love and lose the relationship she never knew she wanted. Or she can learn to trust and confront the pain that's driven her most of her life. Shy college student Jessie Taylor wanders through her days with no job and no end to her classes. She patched things up with her on-and-off boyfriend, Dick, but his abrasive attitude still stings. Jessie's excited to welcome an old friend back with open arms, but Dick can't stand her - or the XZA novels she wants Jessie to read. Their battle of wills pulls Jessie apart. She has to find the inspiration to forge her own path. Otherwise, other people's selfish whims will doom her to a life she doesn't want.
