Signet Books

June 1998

Two women, one African-American, one white, have been the best of friends since childhood, having grown up together in the same neighborhood. When they attend the funeral of a mutual friend, they both fall in love with the deceased's brother, testing the boundaries of their friendship as well as their mutual love for one man.

Between Friends/Signet Books 1997:

I had two things I wanted to writer about in this story: the first was racial identity (the heroine, Dallas, is biracial), and friendship.  Dallas has been best friends with Irish American beauty, Valerie, since they were children.  Alex, who is Italian, once saved Dallas’ life when she was a teenager.  They all grew up in the same community.  Now that they are all grown up both women find that their friendship, as well as their racial differences, are called into question when they both find themselves attracted to the same man, Alex.
