Description

Bestselling author and “first-rate storyteller” (USA Today) E. Lynn Harris is back with an engrossing new audiobook filled with drama, daring and intrigue!

Aldridge James (“AJ”) Richardson is a kept man and Drayton (Dray) Dexter Jones is the man who’s footing the bills. The only problem is that Dray is a rich, handsome NBA star…who just happens to be married. When someone tries to break up their happy home, the blackmailing begins and drama ensues. Once again, E. Lynn Harris explores contemporary issues of race, sex and class in a deftly plotted tale filled with surprises.

“What’s got audiences hooked? Harris’s unique spin on the ever-fascinating topics of identity, class, intimacy, sexuality, and friendship.”–Vibe



From the Compact Disc edition.
