ABOUT TONIGHT I GIVE IN:

 

It is a romance novel in that it has the conventional elements of the genre, but it is so much more than that. Tonight I Give In tackles subject matter that traditional romances don’t and won’t touch. Not only is it an exploration of romance, but an inquiry of love. The novel is a journey in love. Myella and Trevon’s story is an engrossing emotionally complex journey of friendship, growth, understanding, and love.

 

The characters meet and there is an instant chemistry and attraction, but this simmers below their friendship that develops. Both Mya and Tre grow to understand that love and their relationship is not simply a matter of wanting or needing it. It’s about truly being ready for love and a relationship. They both have to let go and release themselves from the shackles from their past, so that they can embrace and accept love and the future—so that they can have a future together. So, in a nutshell, Tonight I Give In is about the beautiful emotionally complex journey of the mental, emotional, and physical surrender of romantic love.

 

 

Tonight I Give In: Extended Synopsis

 

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 Trevon Threat, all-star pro linebacker, charming, handsome, and intelligent. This intriguing modern day gladiator blows Mya’s mind and all her preconceived notions about the spoiled self-indulgent conceited athlete. Tre 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 did not 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 Tre 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 Tre’s high-profile career and outside foes?
