Deep, deep down in their underground town, the prairie dogs live in
harmony--until a mysterious, fluorescent, very fuzzy thing
(otherwise known as a tennis ball) rolls down their hole. When the
prairie dogs discover that they can pluck and pull the fuzz into
fabulous fashions, their fear quickly turns to curiosity, then
delight, then pure greed. Will the frenzy that erupts tear apart
the prairie-dog town forever. Or will the kidnapping of mean ol'
Big Bark trigger the prairie dogs to come to his rescue and
remember the true meaning of community?
He was 15 when he fell in love with the girl across the street, the
young single teenage mother. As an actor rising to fame, and
eventually moving to Hollywood, he tried to keep their love alive,
always visiting and calling, helping with the kid when he was at
home. She was the love of his life, but she would never really let
them be together, no matter how hard he tried, because she knew she
was dying. Now, 15 years later, he appears at the 5 star hotel that
took such good care of then, with a surprise for the world; the
child, kept hidden, looking so like her mother and yet so
different. The secrets the hotel has hidden about the two of them
could break hearts, and fill them at the same time. Will the child
find out before it's too late, or will they remain buried forever?

boozing, womanising ways, accompanies a very bad attitude. When
Sephora is assigned to be his assistant, she wonders if it's going
to turn into a nightmare. But surprisingly, she does everything
right, and is able to handle him. One day, however, she learns that
Garrett's troublesome ways are not due to bad behaviour, but a dark
secret that he has to hide from the world. As she tries to help him
save his career, their friendship begins to take twists and turns
into a road she never expected...
Their marriage was a sham to begin with. The 19 year old dancer who
grew up in foster care, needed a green card to continue to dance in
the country. He didn't believe in love, nor did he have any
interest in a relationship. But when they fell into bed together,
night after night, something about the innocent and beautiful
dancer soul underneath her trashy attitude made him want to help
her find her way. A 10 year age difference and with an agreement
that this would not turn into a relationship, he married her and
she stayed. But now, 7 years later, having seen each other off and
on, they find themselves at a cross roads. Do they sign divorce
papers, and walk away, or is there something brewing underneath
that is too real and too dangerous to ignore?
It was the typical story of a childhood friendship. The older boy
across the street who earned spare change by babysitting her from
time to time in her upperclass home. He remained the down-to-earth
badass who put a different kind of adventure in her life, but never
let her have a taste of danger. When his family moved to the middle
of nowhere "Midwest," they kept sporadically in touch. He fell in
with a crowd of lower class kids, all struggling to make it in the
world, walking the streets with switchblades and jumping upperclass
rich kids, sleeping on couches instead of returning to broken
homes. When she suddenly shows up, pretty still on the outside, but
broken on the inside, it's up to her to find her place in the
world. He won't let her associate with the riffraff he's fallen in
with, unless it's in secret, in hidden places. He won't let her
fall to where he now lives, but feels betrayed when her heart falls
for his enemy. What happened to her in the big city that makes her
cry at night and scream from nightmares? Can he take care of her
the way he used to, or will she fall farther than he can reach?
She came to New Orleans to further her career, leaving behind
friends, family and a fiance, while keeping her age a secret to get
a head start on her life. Etienne is the opposite of everything she
stands for; education, money and a future. But there's something
about him, something different from the other street hustlers.
Every one has secrets, but can she overcome his to find love?
