Praised as "compelling" (USA Today), "provocative" (Publishers Weekly), "steamy" (Seattle Times), and "inviting" (Washington Post Book World), Eric Jerome Dickey's novels have established him as one of the most exciting and unique voices in contemporary fiction -- and his newest offering is no exception. Set in San Francisco and Oakland, this erotically-charged story tells of a complex love triangle involving a writer (the narrator), his lover Nicole, and her other lover, Ayanna. Nicole is a successful computer tech whose previous bad relationships have caused her to rethink her approach to love. But her desire for an open, communal relationship with both of her lovers doesn't take into account the jealousy and competitiveness that make up the other two sides of this particular love triangle. All preacher's kids and marathon runners, the protagonists struggle to reconcile their coflicting ideas of love, community, and spirituality in this ambitious new novel. Eric Jerome Dickey's signature wit and flair for storytelling are as strong as ever, promising a superb follow-up to the success of Liar's Game.
