She has yet to find that special man to start a family with as well as one who is worthy of all she has to offer. After years of dating, she discovers that her suitors are intimidated by her financial independence because she is able to provide herself with all of the luxuries that money can buy.

She overcame that obstacle to become one the most successful beauticians in Huntsville. In addition to running her own salon, she does her best to nurture her on-again-off-again relationship with her boyfriend Mark Harrington. The black cloud that has tainted their relationship is his ex-wife, Valerie. She has been dead set on ruining Lela’s life since day one. She has a defined role in Mark’s life because they have two daughters together. Now that Mark is back in Lela’s life for good, how will his ex-wife handle living without him? Monica Van Adams is a single mother who was madly in love with her high school sweetheart and child’s father, José Alvarez. He left Monica to raise their son alone when he ran off to be with another woman. Monica’s naïve demeanor quickly becomes one of wisdom as she learns more and more about the opposite sex. She runs into a man from her past, experiences a whirlwind courtship, and then lets him get away. Will he ever return? Join the ladies as a night on the town brings them closer together to help one another deal with the hardships of life, love, and accepting Mr. Right Now.
