Welcome to my website! It is truly an honor to have you stop by for a visit. Get a cup of coffee or tea, take a seat, relax and grab a book…preferably one of mine! But if not, there are so many great African American romance authors that will entice your passions, raise your curiosity and touch a funny bone or two. The object is to take you away to a land of fantasy where you will experience what love can be, then return you to your world to spread it around. It’s that simple!

TEACH ME   

 
May 25, 2012

Dear Readers:

Webster dictionary defines a family as: the basic unit of society traditionally consisting of two parents rearing their children. With that in mind, meet Joseph and Sally Lassiter, a couple who took the saying “be fruitful and multiple” seriously. They are the parents of Samuel, Joshua, Ruby, Pearl, Diamond, Matthew, Luke, Opal, Timothy, Jade, Adam and Sapphire.

If you did not notice, all the males are named after men of the bible and will be referred to as The Gents in this series of novels. Why? I’m glad you asked. Well, not only are they your typical Alpha males, with their tall, dark good looks and arrogant ways, they are all true southern gentlemen that wisely open their hearts and welcome love—from the right woman.

Now, the females, well, they are all named after precious gemstones and will be referred to as The Gems in this series. Why? Simple. They are precious gems to their father and brothers. Any man that enters into their lives must treat them as such or deal with the males who all stand over six feet tall. But, putting aside the fear factor, any man that is fortunate enough to have the heart of a Lassiter woman will have in his possession the priceless gift of undying love.

To assist you, my readers from The Heart Series, this story takes place during the time when JD. Harrison was Attorney General. Samuel was working for Brian Thompson and had just won the heart of Cynthia Thornton from a Governor and a Prince, no less. That should give you some idea of the power of a Lassiter man.

 The first book in The Gems and Gents Series begins with the middle daughter Diamond, who chose the man she wanted to teach her about love. Unfortunately, Zackary Davenport wants nothing to do with any woman who is after his heart.

 Whose willpower will triumph? You’ll have to read Teach Me to find out.

 Enjoy!
Iris
