The Ties That Bind (2001)
Here's a straight-up novel about men and women, sex and betrayal, and playing
the fool for love. Mia is a hopeless romantic who dreams of getting married
and settling down with the man who could make that dream come true. Brice has
his own ideas about love. He wants a woman willing to surrender everything and
he thinks he's found her in Mia. Then again, so has Christian, who likes love
to last just as long as the night takes. Now he's met an angel with the power
to turn him around. Unfortunately she's married to his best friend.
"The Ties That Bind," is a refreshing new voice in
African-American fiction. Parks describes her work as a contemporary
love story with a twist. "It deals with relationships, the choices we
make in life and the consequences we face because of them." In this
wonderful debut novel, you are sure to remember her characters long
after the last page has been turned. Maybe you'll even see yourself .

Loose Ends (2002)
Praised for its "cutting-edge dialogue,
intriguing characters, and a spicy storyline,"* Electa Rome Parks's
The Ties That Bind introduced a savagely honest look at modern
romance. Now, in a back-to-back publishing event, Parks returns with
her next novel of love and friendship and the betrayals of both-some
forgiven, some never forgotten.
It's been five years since they trusted one
another-and betrayed one another- only as friends and lovers could.
Beautiful Mia, getting a second chance at love. Christian, who gave up
his player card for the one woman he's not sure he can trust. And
Brice, as irresistibly bad as ever. One woman can tame him-if he'd
give her the chance: Kree, innocent but underestimated, and looking
for the kind of passion that can change a life. When she finds it,
it's going to come with a price. Sometimes, it doesn't take a lot to
tear apart friends like these. All it takes is love

Almost Doesn't Count (2005)
Mercedes decided a long time ago that she'd never let a man walk all
over her the way some women did. Love was something from fairy tales
and TV movies of the week. She needed men for one thing only-and it
had nothing to do with her heart. Growing up her mother made sure of
that.
Now Mercedes has to travel home to southern Georgia,
where her mama, Miss Betty, is recovering from surgery. Back to the
rickety old house that holds a lot of memories for her. If she could
only learn to deal with the bad ones…
Because a man has come into her life, a fine,
bald-headed, churchgoing black man-the kind of man Mercedes never
dared believe in. And she's going to have to get herself together to
deal with what Darius is doing to her life-and what he's hiding about
his own…
