Opis

The author of My Eyes Are Green and You Had Me at Hello introduces you to his most unforgettable and dynamic characters to date. Antonio, Yvette, Michele and Brice are as different as night and day, but they share one commonality-they work at Donatello's, the hottest and most upscale restaurant in New York City. At Donatello's, million dollar deals and careers are made or broken over fancy cocktails. On any given day, the restaurant is a virtual Who's Who of celebrity sightings. If you don't have the right connections, you'll find yourself on the outside looking in. Antonio, the domineering and striking restaurant manager, is miserable in his marriage, and uses Donatello's as his ultimate playground, but a dark secret could destroy his life. Yvette, Atlanta's hottest on-the-rise female rapper, drops out of college and moves to New York after finding out her cheating boyfriend just signed a record deal. Now, she aims to collect on promises he made to her in the heat of passion and she will let nothing stand in the way of her career. Michele, who was raised in the projects and sexually abused by a man old enough to be her father, has an addiction to cold, hard cash. Despite being blessed with beauty and brains, she cannot manage to leave her married abuser alone. Brice a gay, hopeless-romantic has dreams of being a famous poet, but when he joins a hip hop group that blows up overnight, he is forced into living a lie while being enticed by powerful men who are hiding in hip hop. The Weakness In Me shows that all that glitters isn't gold and that tragedy can lurk around any corner. When a mysterious fire burns down Donatello's, it incinerates the hopes and dreams of many, and takes the life of one of the main characters. When the flames are extinguished and the ashes are cleared, who will be left standing?
