So
You Call Yourself A Man

The acclaimed national
bestselling author of such
smart, sexy novels as The
Preacher’s Son and
Player Haters returns
with a tale of three best
friends who’ve grown from
boys to men together. But
now that they’re each either
married or about to be,
they’re coming up against
some of the real
tests of manhood.
James Robinson and his wife,
Cathy, have had their rough
patches. But seven years
into their marriage, things
are better, and hotter, than
ever—until the
not-so-distant past catches
up with James. During a
particularly rocky period,
James hooked up with a woman
on his UPS route, and he
wasn’t just delivering
packages. Now, three years
later, the fling has come
back to haunt him—with a
baby in tow. James has to
decide whether to tell his
wife, or keep the affair a
secret and give in to his
ex-mistress’s outrageous
child support demands. The
choice might not be so tough
if he wasn’t falling in
love—with his newfound son.
Meanwhile, James’s best
friend, Brent Williams, has
got his own romantic
complications. He’s a fine
brother who’s had women
throwing themselves at him
all his life, but it’s taken
Brent a while to find
someone who wants him for
the man he is on the inside.
He thinks he’s found her in
his fiancée, Alison Jones.
The plus-size beauty isn’t
his usual type, but more
important to Brent, she’s a
born-again Christian, like
him. They seem like a match
made in heaven until a sexy
third party threatens to
come between them—someone
Brent has been praying to
resist.
Ever since he got married
and moved to Seattle, Sonny
Harrison has missed his
friends in New York. But
that’s going to change now
that James has pulled some
strings and gotten him a job
at UPS. There’s just one
problem—Sonny’s wife. When
Sonny tells her the good
news, she promptly sends him
packing. Sonny’s
heartbroken—until he
reunites with his high
school sweetheart, Tiffany.
But his quick devotion soon
turns suffocating—and scary.
Tiffany wants out, but the
harder she tries to end
things, the harder Sonny
hangs on. As his behavior
becomes more and more
obsessive, Brent and James
may be the only ones who can
intervene. But will helping
Tiffany mean losing their
friend forever?
