Defective — Maria Jackson

Yolanda is a talented DJ and a devoted mom. She's also straight, despite frequent assumptions otherwise. When a friend has a gig at a gay bar one night, Yolanda goes along. But she's not comfortable - especially after Whitney, her beautiful ex-Marine coworker, asks her to dance. Whitney enjoys her job as a flair bartender, and her support dog helps her deal with the scars still left from her time in the service. She can't resist Yolanda's dark good looks, so she's willing to be patient in the face of the other woman's resistance. But even though Whitney's open about her sexuality, she has secrets of her own that she can't bear to expose. Will Yolanda finally admit the attraction between them? And if she does, can her acceptance heal Whitney's hidden shame?
