Detailed Synopsis: TONIGHT I GIVE IN
After a hectic first year of graduate school and working, Myella McBride just needs a release and to let off some steam. Mya’s workload for her masters in English literature while teaching overloaded sections of English composition has left her wanting and on the verge of burning out. At the persistence of her free-spirited best friend, she decides to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend, the first collective opportunity around Chi-Town to shed the cold weather frocks and don something crazy, sexy, and cool, before she retreats to the pseudo security of her books. All she is looking for is some fun and a little harmless flirting with the background of good music to groove to, because unlike her friend, she does not believe the panacea to everything is a man. Besides, everyone knows you cannot meet a good, quality man at the club. Little does she know across the room destiny could await in the form of the battleship of masculinity, parting the sea of people and making his way towards her.
Over walks Trévon Threat, all-star pro linebacker, charming, handsome, and intelligent. This intriguing modern day gladiator blows her mind and all her preconceived notions about the spoiled self-indulgent conceited athlete. Tré is conscientious and generous; he cares about the community, volunteers tirelessly, and loves his mama. This man with the intimidating name and ferocious occupation spawns emotions and awakens feelings she didn’t realize she was capable of feeling. A painful past, with a mentally and emotionally abusive mother and a failed four-year long-distance relationship with an unfaithful boyfriend, has left her with steamer trunks of suppressed baggage.
When Mya initially avoids the pitfalls of this baggage and overcomes her fears, she is able to GIVE IN and really give her heart for the first time. With the commonality of past sorrows and mutual interests, not to mention preternatural chemistry, Mya and Tré form a solid, special bond of friendship that grows into more. A dream romance develops between the two friends, but is friendship, romance, and love enough for them to maneuver through the sexual politics of a new relationship and find their way back together, while combating an onslaught of jealousy, envy, insecurity, temptation, and miscommunication, which is only compounded by Tré’s high-profile career and outside foes?
In Tonight I Give In , Mya and Tré are perfectly flawed, round, dynamic characters. Their attraction excites you; their friendship renews you; their romance captivates you; and their love nourishes you. Their story is an engrossing emotionally complex journey of growth, understanding, and love that all readers will enjoy.
Mia A. Moore grew up in Illinois approximately thirty miles west of Chicago. She studied English literature at the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Bachelors of Arts on Mother’s Day. While caring for her young family, she continued her studies at the university, attending graduate school and teaching undergraduate English composition.
Mia has been making up and writing stories of love and romance since as long as she can remember. She has always had a passion for literature, writing, communication, rhetoric, and language. Even though, it may seem as if she was always destined to traverse the path of the romance writer, her vision was not always so clear when it came to her destiny. Recent life changes, like Lasik, have brought destiny in clear, full focus. Mia is ready and it is on! Her debut novel, Tonight I Give In , was released June 2007 by Xpress Yourself Publishing, and she is currently working on her second novel.
As a writer, she endeavors to create well-developed, multi-layered stories of love and romance with believable human beings at the center. Mia writes novels with perfectly flawed, round, dynamic characters located within the framework of emotionally complex storylines, defined by friendship, romance, intimacy, sensuality, passion, and love. She desires to entertain with engrossing stories in which the reader will become emotionally invested, free of gratuitous drama—drama just for the sake of drama without a well-constructed purpose. Her ultimate goal is to make you laugh, cry, think, and believe.
On a personal note, Mia loves spending time with her family. When she is not writing, her interests include reading, shopping, cooking, and volunteering. She also likes listening to music, playing an occasional video game, and watching sports. Mia is an avid sports fan. During March Madness, she is seriously into “bracketology†and practically sequesters herself at game time (there really is nothing like the tournament). Her favorite channel is the NFL Network. Mia really loves football like a man, but truly appreciates certain aspects of the game like a woman. ;-)
"Creating and crafting stories of love and romance for the reader with a discriminating taste for fine literature. Nothing is too much and everything is not quite enough. Let me pamper and spoil you a little. JUST BECAUSE..."--
