When Nicole Washington, a candid 24-year-old magazine copy editor, realizes she made a mistake by dumping her ex-boyfriend who has started another relationship with beautiful school teacher Layla Sylvester, she pulls tricks out of her bag she never dreamed she possessed to get her man back. Unfortunately for Nicole, Layla isn't willing to give up the man she's fallen in love with without a fight. The real games begin when life throws both Nicole and Layla a few curve balls: Nicole is given increasing responsibility at work while Layla strives to connect with her students; Nicole envies the seemingly perfect marriage of her best friend as Layla struggles to keep balance in her own relationship; Nicole attempts to mend the strained connection with her mother; and Layla must deal with Nicole's antics all while slowly beginning to wonder if her boyfriend still has feelings for Nicole after all. Through it all, the spiritual lives of both women are put to the test as God reveals His will in the various aspects of their lives. With the use of intelligence, earthy insight, and humor, His Will, My Want ultimately explores the ins and outs of relationships while demonstrating the joy and peace we can experience when we align our wants with God's will.
