Eric Pete

  • Big, bold, and beautiful are three adjectives that describe Erika to a tee. Named after her mother’s favorite soap opera vixen, Erika Kane is self-assured, headstrong, and opinionated. But she’s also unlucky in love. Whenever Erika thinks she’s found everlasting love, it always ends up being short-lived—literally. She has three dead husbands to prove the point, and it’s earned her the title “The Black Widow.” But just when Erika is about to give up on true love, she learns that, just like in the soaps, love sometimes shows up when you least expect it—though sometimes it can be deceiving.

Is she ready to take a chance on love again?
