Just a Baby

Rahsaan Pearl's main ambition in life is just to be happy, and he's convinced that there isn't a woman alive that he can be truly happy with...until he moves from New York to North Carolina. There he finds the woman of his teenage fantasies...and the girl of his dreams. Sophistocated, eloquent and bitter about relationships, Alicia Hayes is reluctant to hook up with a younger man. But loneliness will get to anyone after being around long enough. When Rahsaan and Alicia become lovers, it's a dream come true. But nowhere in his dreams did he imagine he would fall in love with Erica King. Erica never thought she would fall in love with a man 10 years older, either. But Rahsaan is everything she thinks a man ought to be. Her mother, Karen, thinks Erica is still just a baby and doesn't know what she wants. She also knows Rahsaan is everything she doesn't want for her daughter, due to her own secrets. But how long will she be able to keep her baby from growing up?
