Desiree Alexander has never been happier. A popular teacher at a prestigious prep school in Baltimore, she's sure the position of dean is hers for the taking. But before the final decision is made, a shocking secret from Desiree's past comes back to haunt her in the form of a scandalous videotape that's delivered to the current dean. Is sexy Rafiq Jones, a visiting teacher also up for the position, responsible?

There's no way for Desiree to find out—everything is crashing down around her. Her boyfriend of several years has abandoned her and moved out, and another face from her past has moved in. Desiree has no idea why porn star Sandi Thomas has left Amsterdam, but she can't afford to alienate the temperamental actress who knows too much about the desperate choices Desiree made when she left home as a rebellious teenager.

With the life she fought so hard for in ruins, Desiree's estranged family calls her home to Atlanta. If the only way to claim a new future for herself is to make peace with her past, Desiree vows to confront the painful secrets she has been keeping, and to open her heart once more to trust—and a rare chance at real love....

Marcia King-Gamble's Bio

I've been called a dancing fool and the truth of the matter is I love to dance. Recently took up ballroom dancing but I'm the worst ballroom dancer there is. Primarily because I don't follow instructions and like to freestyle. The same goes for life. Let's see, what would you like to know about me?

"The dancing fool" is Caribbean American and a self- proclaimed globetrotter. I've had a colorful career in the travel industry and can tell you that every horrendous story you've heard about corporate life is most likely true.

I have degrees in psychology and theater, a menagerie of animals and live in Florida. One of my favorite things to do on weekends is to attend estate sales in search of "collectibles." A visit to my home will verify that.
