The Playgirl

There's a new playa in town, and her name is Jalise Styles.

Fresh off a long-term relationship, Jalise, a successful young author living in Los Angeles, seeks not love or romance, but simply sex. Though she has no problem showing her naughty side to her flings, her vulnerable side (scarred by the sudden death of her mother and the wrongdoings of a former friend) remains under wraps.

As she plays the field, her natural allure and lively spirit attracts some of Hollywood's most notable names. There's A-list actor Lennox Edwards, whose initial interest in Jalise blossoms into a lustful fascination. Hot starlet Shayla Lawson, who yearns to be more than friends with the writer. And box-office bigshot Brent Braun, who rocks her world in the best and worst way.

Jalise is not the only one fooling around.

Her older brother Marcel Styles, a budding fashion photographer, is a closeted gay man tempted by drugs and kinky sex. Monet Darling, a wealthy socialite, is like her friend Jalise: a playgirl with a troubled past. Tyce Sutton, former child star, wants payback after Jalise turns him and his heart down. So does Chessa Rossi, an ex-friend and fling of hers. All Jalise wanted was to have some no-strings-attached fun, but she would obtain a life more sensational than the stories she writes.
