Description
Alice Andrews has her hands full living in Manhattan, working as a reporter in Newark, and trying to forget the smooth-talking investment banker she thought was Mr. Right. When she meets Jack Russworm, a handsome, Harvard-educated doctor, it seems as though things are finally falling into place. But as their romance starts to heat up, their differences start bubbling to the surface. Will they sizzle together, or will Alice get burned?
A delicious, eye-opening look at the world of upper-class Black Manhattanites.
