Literary divas La Jill Hunt and C. N. Phillips deliver two empowering stories about big, beautiful women who are surviving and thriving in the workplace.

"The Biggest Loser" by La Jill Hunt: Zenobia is already reeling from a miscarriage when a shocking revelation from her on again/off again boyfriend breaks her heart. To make matters worse, she’s lost her job after an uncomfortable encounter with the boss’s son. In need of a place to stay and low on self-esteem, she has no choice but to lean on her friends. When an opportunity presents itself, Zen takes a leap of faith and pursues her dream of becoming an interior designer. Her first big project just might change her life.

"Lusting for a Big Girl" by C. N. Phillips: Teeka thinks her hot romance with Keelan is headed in the right direction, until she makes the mistake of saying "I love you." Running scared, Keelan claims the reason he’s not ready for a deeper relationship with Teeka is her weight. Teeka is heartbroken, but it doesn’t take long for her to discover that Keelan has been keeping a secret from her, and it’s the real reason he’s backed off. How will she still be able to go to work and face him every day, knowing that the chemistry between them still exists, and it just might jeopardize the whole company?
