One of a Kind — Bette Ford

BEING FRIENDS WAS NOT ENOUGH...
When legal secretary Anthia Jenkins went through tough times, her friend Dexter Washington, director of a Detroit community center, was there for her. She could never have handled her teenaged son's troubles without Dex's willingness to listen. Before long, Anthia was falling for him--hard and fast. Yet Dex was keeping their relationship "just friends," and she needed to know why...

BEING LOVERS
COULD BREAK HER HEART...
When it came to love, Dex had been there, done that. And he wasn't doing it again. His wife's suicide had landed him in prison, unjustly convicted of her death. Now, his attraction to Anthia was quickly growing into a passion he couldn't control. But just as their romance was beginning to bud, Anthia learned of his troubled past. Somehow Dex would have to find a way to_ keep Anthia from walking away and convince her to believe in him...and the healing power of love.
