A Man of My Own is great storytelling from
the first page to the last. Barbara Joe Williams created believable characters with depth and enough twists and turns to keep
me turning the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written, entertaining novel. -Victoria Christopher Murray, Essence

Ms. Williams writes about the wild side of being the other woman and she does it well,

Synopsis
Lisa LaRaye Bradford arrives in Dallas, Texas, with two brown Louis Vuitton leather bags filled
with designer clothes and a dream of marrying a rich man. She soon meets Dr. Desmond Taylor,
a noted dermatologist, who quickly falls under her enchanting spell. The only problem is that the good looking mulatto doctor
is already married, but that won’t stop Lisa from chasing her life long fairy tale or the attractive medicine man. Although
she has never succeeded in luring any male away from his devoted spouse, Lisa is about to meet her unequivocal match in Dr.
Taylor’s vengeful wife, Belinda.
Mrs. Taylor is familiar with outside women trying to ruin her lackluster marriage. However, she has been successful at halting their feeble attempts to fill her expensive pointed toe shoes. When she deducts that the beautiful Lisa Bradford is her husband’s latest conquest, she devises a diabolical scheme to make sure that his mistress learns a valuable lesson: Leave married men alone and find a man of your own.
Will Lisa survive a scorned woman’s premeditated plan long enough to find a man of her own?
