One Foot Outside the Door
Vina St Fran
Good
lovin’ is easy…But true happiness is harder to find…
To anyone on the outside looking in through the door of Cyndarella
Worthy’s life, it looks like she’s got it all.
At thirty-two, she’s beautiful and successful, with a handsome brother
lover, Thad Mitchell. But deep in her
heart, she holds a candle for Bashar Bazzi, the Chaldean immigrant she loved
ten years ago. Bashar left for Iraq and
she never saw him again, and she assumes he made a marriage within his own
community without a backward glance.
Cyn’s girlfriends, Tavie, Denise and Vette, know that their sister still
carries the scars of Bashar, but they pray she’ll find love and peace with
Thad. Anyway, they’ve got issues too:
Tavie’s dating smart school principal, Mack Dooley, but she can’t escape the
rumors that he’s playing around; Denise’s marriage to Sean is under pressure
because she hasn’t conceived a second child; Vette’s dating an older guy, Louis
Burns, but wonders if she’ll ever get a ring on her finger.
When Thad proposes to Cyn and she accepts, it looks like this sister’s
finally on her way to true happiness.
But no sooner are the celebrations done, when there’s trouble—Bashar
Bazzi is home, and he’s ready to settle his unfinished business with Cyn…

What people are
saying...
“Cyndarella Worthy,
an African-American lady, is caught in the twists and turns of love centered on one of the most enduring and captivating
contemporary romance stories...One Foot Outside The Door.
Against this background, “Cyn” as she is fondly
called grapples with a blast from the past and a tragic
secret that threatens her marriage to her heartthrob Thad Mitchell...”
In the first novel of a highly anticipated series, The Amorous
Trilogy, Vina St. Fran explores with finesse, the story of a single African-American lady whose life is shattered by Bashar
Bazzi, a Chaldean gentleman of Iraqi descent who after four years of romance leaves her to attend
to his family business in Baghdad.
14 years after, she settles
to marry Thad Mitchell,
also an African-American but her joy is cut short as Bashar comes onto the scene. She’s torn between an old flame and a life of bliss with Thad. But can she resist the chemistry
between herself and Bashar
whose family prejudice
tore them apart
in the first place?
“I am not a fan of most debut novels in which I have reviewed.
I must warn you in advance
that this is not the typical cookie-cutter Contemporary Romance novel you may currently
find yourself reading...there
is a
true love story which unfolds
here that entertains
as well as educates. The storytelling is solid, focused,
and downright unpredictable! The supporting cast of characters each with their own distinctive flavoring makes this a must-read book that
I would highly recommend,” said Lacey Smalton, Reviewer from the Midwest Book Review, Reviewers Choice,
March 2015 edition.
Faridah Nassozi
of Reader’s Favorite
Book Review March 23, 2015 adds, “One
Foot Outside The Door by Vina St. Fran delivered
a story filled with romance, suspense and relationship
drama through love triangles, betrayals, broken trust,
and second chances.”
“One Foot Outside The Door," was previously published in 2007. This is a revised edition.
The books were edited by former Sr. Executive Editor,
Tessa Shapcott, of Harlequin Mills & Boon UK Ltd. Book Two of the Amorous Trilogy,
"Betrayal's Dust" will be out October 15, 2015.
