Meant to Be (Love Spectrum Romance)
by Jeanne Sumerix

Amy Summers and Cord McCune met over the phone. He was a liaison for the regional offices of the Michigan Department of Public Health and had been a source of emotional support and help during a most difficult time in Amy's live. Through their conversations, they'd gone from friends to best friends to falling in love. Now, two years later, they have a chance to meet face-to-face at a business conference. She is surprised to find that she is attracted to a handsome, tall African-American man she's teamed with at the conference and is shocked to find that he is Cord. Despite their racial differences, they still love one another. However, Amy is afraid of society and decides to call it off. Cord is sure their love is meant to be and decides that nothing will stand in their way, not even the investigation he has been conducting in her office.

A beautifully told story-you can't help love the characters and share in their dilemma. The mix of characters provides intrigue, humor, anger, and, most of all love. Read More...

Virtual Foreplay: Making Your Online Relationship a Real-Life Success
by Eve Eschner Hogan

From the Author
Online dating provides us with an amazing way to make introductions to hundreds, if not thousands, of potential partners. The challenge is that unless we have the interpersonal skills (and often fortitude!) to turn that introduction into a lasting face-to-face relationship, an introduction will only take us just so far.

Lets face it, the rules of dating have significantly changed! Online dating is exactly backwards of the way we have dated traditionally and guidelines for using the internet to build relationships are few and far between. As technology allows us to present ourselves instantly to the world, searching for true love or titillation, new questions face us: How can we keep our "virtual" selves real? Can we be honest and still be intriguing? How do we protect ourselves from flakes and predators? Does sex online "count" as sex? We've all grappled with the morality issue of sex before marriage, but what about sex before meeting!?

Virtual Foreplay describes how to make meaningful contact online and then successfully shift that love offline. Topics include choosing online dating services, handling online rejection, "fifty ways to delete your lover" and the emotional and safety concerns of the first real-life encounter. Virtual Foreplay is much more than just a "how to date online" book!

Youll also learn how to make your email more romantic and appealing, while at the same time, discovering how online dating can raise your self-esteem, help you establish clearer boundaries, and enhance critical interpersonal skills that will positively and powerfully impact your ability to create lasting and joyful love online and off!
