Tropical Illusions (Paperback)

Tasia and Jeff are in a monogamous relationship and they share a bond befitting that of a fairy tale. Misfortune befalls them when two things happen. First, Jeff is seduced by a stripper named Tropical, and what begins as a protected sexual escapade ends as a harsh reality when Jeff learns that the condom broke during intercourse. Next, Jeff is accused of murder, and he finds himself trapped in an unforgiving system, figuratively and sometimes literally, fighting for his life. The drama unfolds when Jeff is diagnosed with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and he's forced to break this life changing news to the love of his life. Unfortunately, Tasia has no understanding. Instead of getting tested, she automatically assumes that she's infected with the deadly disease. Out of hatred and anger, Tasia concludes that all men are dogs...and she vows to share her newly acquired fortune with as many men as possible.
