The wildly popular author of "Going Too Far, Forget You, " and "Love Story" returns with a sexy and poignant romantic tale of a young daredevil pilot caught between two brothers.

With candid honesty Oliver Markus explores the age-old question: "Can men and women ever really be just friends?" Women think so. But every man knows that it's impossible. Read this book and find out what really goes on in a man's mind. You will never look at opposite-sex friendships the same way again.

The confessions of a silver-tongued playboy...the musings of a jilted lover haunted by the scent of the departed...the prayers of a single mother pregnant with both hope and fear in a world beyond her control... Crafted in searing, vivid language, the poems in this exciting debut are masterfully sculpted to resonate throughout the very core of the reader like a melody unchained. Through a variety of different voices, Marcus relates universal truths that span the boundaries of race, color, creed, and gender. Whether the fertile promise of new love, the lingering sting of domestic violence, the emotional scarring of child abuse, or the beguiling face of blind patriotism – no matter which voice you hear them in, these are truly "songs" from the chorus of everyday life.
