Here I Lay Part 1: I've Gotta Have It

Monaysia Denise Giles was never meant to be a one night stand. 

I'm supposed to be in Paris showcasing the fashion line I spent my first two years of college designing. My line made it all the way to Fashion Week. So why am I back at home, splitting the bills with my parents?

On the best and worst night of my life, I'm meeting someone who can get me where I'm supposed to be. I've always been told to stay away from the "thugs" in the city across the bridge, but this one night stand will either leave me homeless and pregnant or make this man take care of me for the rest of my life.

Here I Lay Part One: I've Gotta Have It is a tale steeped in forbidden love in the middle of an urban economic crisis. Once Monaysia's true colors show, readers will be captivated by the way this riches to rags story unfolds.
