HAYWARD, Calif., Oct. 30, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dezzy Tucker thinks she has life figured out. All the areas of the 22-year-old's life are under complete control, except when it comes to love. In her new novel, Scandalous Love (now available through 1stBooks), author Qiana London tackles the tough issues of the heartaches and joys of love.
London focuses her story on Dezzy Tucker and Dezzy's struggle to get her love life under control. Consumed over the last two years by a relationship that only yielded heartache and broken promises, Dezzy begins to lose faith in all men. Convinced she will never find a good man, she gives up on love.
One day, she comes face to face with her "knight in shining armor." Finally, things seem to fit, and the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place. Her future looks bright, and Dezzy happily moves forward without a backward glance.
Just when she thinks destiny has fallen into place, a scandal threatens to crumble her world. A series of trials and tribulations teaches her much about her friendships, and she learns that nothing is ever what it seems. Dezzy tries to deal with every obstacle, but nothing prepares her for the ultimate test, which shakes her being to the very core.
A realistic story about the taboo realities of life, Scandalous Love is a suspenseful romance thriller that begs the reader to keep turning pages as Dezzy discovers the woman within.
London is an accomplished poet and playwright. A native of Oakland, Calif., and recent graduate of the University of Southern California, London mixes her own blend of reinvented "old-fashioned storytelling." She resides in Hayward and Los Angeles, Calif. Scandalous Love is her first novel.
