Could her dream lover actually become a reality? Or is Patrice destined to remain in the friend zone forever? Find out in this heart warming romance by scrolling up and clicking "buy now"! Warning: This story does contain scenes of a sexual nature and is the type of book your mama will have warned you about. This black woman & white man interracial romance is a 25,000 word novella and part of "the boy is mine" mini-series. LENA SKYE Q&A ABOUT "THE BOY IS MINE": Q: If a reader has not read “Pretty Fly For A White Guy” then can they still read this? Lena: I made sure to write this story so it could be read stand alone even if you did not read the “Pretty Fly” series. There might be the odd mention of events in the previous books but they are not going to be crucial to the new storyline. After all, there are plenty of spin off TV shows like Frasier where they stood in their own right and I feel that “Boy Is Mine” can also be good in its own right and not just a “spin off”. Q: So what made you decide to even do a Spin off rather then start a brand new series? Lena: Quite simply it was down to the demand! I had many emails from my readers actually wanting me to carry on with Nicole and Kenneth's story which I took as a compliment. It just showed me that the readers really loved all those characters so much that they did not want the story to end and so the only real logical way of keeping it going in some way was by changing focus to another character. Q: What made you choose Patrice for the spin off? Lena: Patrice was always everyone's favorite “secondary” character from the first series and with her being the only single girl left in the group it made sense, plus she is a bad ass! Who wouldn't want to read about Patrice?? Q: Will we see Nicole and Kenneth make a cameo appearance in this story? Lena: Well, I do not want to give any spoilers away now do I? I think it is best to scroll up and buy a copy to read for yourself!

Jada Howarth doesn’t believe in fantasies, unlike her sister who constantly dreams of being swept off into happily-ever-after-land in the sculpted arms of a sexy billionaire. Jada knows the truth, that rich men want supermodels, actresses and heiresses. They don’t want women from small towns with smaller bank accounts, women who lead normal, ordinary lives like Jada. Then one day Jada awakes to find a crush of news crews outside her house, all shrieking for her attention. They believe she’s secretly married to Ian Buckley, one of the wealthiest, most sought-after bachelors in the country. Jada has no idea what they’re talking about, but the reporters are too busy fighting each other for the scoop to actually listen to what she has to say. Ian Buckley, billionaire and man-in-charge, couldn’t be more surprised when he’s informed that a marriage license has been leaked to the press proving he married a woman named Jada Howarth. He doesn’t know anyone named Jada, and he definitely doesn’t remember marrying her. Either he’s lost his wits, or someone’s out to make a fool of him. When he sees the disheveled, lovely Jada on TV, peeking out her door in horror at the reporters swarming over her lawn, he’s confident she’s not behind the scam. He’ll have to meet her to be certain. Men should probably meet their wives, anyway, shouldn’t they? It’ll be fun getting to the bottom of this fiasco. This story is approximately 22,000 words long, 80 print pages.
