This wasn't just any little black book. As far as she was concerned, it was legendary. For years she'd known it existed and had watched Sonya whip it out a few times to make a hit. She had even, on occasion, run into some of the men whose names had been plucked from the book for a date with Sonya. All the men had been tall, dark, and handsome. "Why are you giving me your little black book?" she asked.
