Only problem is that Patrice feels she simply can not compete for his attention over all the slim & beautiful models that a man like him can take his pick from.

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!

Pain Lived, Love Found


Thalia Lake - 2015
     Sloane Paris grew up in dysfunction. With no one to protect them or help them, Sloane and her siblings survived the best way they could; until they could get out from the hell hole they called home. For Sloane, her escape was college, followed by a successful career that she worked very hard for. She left little to no room for love. In fact, she made it a rule to never let a man get close enough for her to fall in love. However, a chance meeting with a handsome stranger would make her reconsider that rule. Luca Santorini is a successful businessman with a thriving business. He comes from a large, loving family that is the complete opposite of Sloane’s. Family meant the world to him, and he hoped to have one of his own one day. He had been meeting with new financial advisors on his retired father’s behalf, and he had the task of choosing which firm he would sign with. Before the meeting, he saw a woman in a coffee shop that intrigued him from just seeing her big beautiful eyes and amazing smile. All he knew was that her name was Sloane and that he would never forget her name or those eyes. Call it fate, but their paths crossed again, and this time Luca wasn’t going to let Sloane Paris just slip away. Luca quickly found out that he had his work cut out for him, but he felt Sloane was more than worth it. While getting to know one another, Sloane managed to do something no other woman has been able to do - she won Luca’s heart. Luca was still trying to win hers, but he wanted more than her heart. Luca wanted to know who or what was the cause of the constant sadness in Sloane’s eyes so he could do everything in his power to put an end to it. He wanted Sloane to trust him enough to share with him her deep, dark secrets, but will Luca be able to handle it once she opens up to him? Will he be able to break through Sloane’s emotional walls and help her let go of the pain she lived and accept the love she’s found with him?
