title: Cheaters
author: Dickey, Eric Jerome
description: Stephan Mitchell and his best friends Jake and Darnell are living well with good jobs, fine clothes, and beckoning futures. For Stephan and Jake, who attract plenty of beautiful sisters, variety is the spice of life. But Darnell is different: He has kept his marriage vows despite some rough going...until he meets a woman who understands his dreams.
  
  Chante Marie Ellis and her best friends Karen and Tammy are true blue soul sisters. Closer than close, going way back, they've stayed tight while each has found love, lost love, gone looking for love, and sworn off men forever. But when Chante runs into Stephan--again--at a nightclub, it could be kismet. Maybe this time she can lose her heart without getting it trampled on.
  
  While Jake plays the field and Darnell struggles with temptation, Stephan starts seeing his life--past and present--more clearly. And as the price of playing the game and paying the consequences starts crashing down around them all, they discover what happens when the game stops: Who wins, who loses, and who cheats just one last time...
