In this sexy follow up to 30 Love: A Novel, Charles "Chucky" Buckner arrives at the wedding of his friends Dizzy and Lailah, but he has no idea of what awaits him.

Almost immediately he finds himself connecting with Lailah's best friend, Marcia, a woman who opens him up to the best time of his life. There's only one catch: Marcia is on a temporary hiatus from her boyfriend to see if they have what it takes to get married, and that hiatus will end in two weeks.

Undaunted, Chucky is willing to challenge the fifteen years of that relationship against the remaining time he has with her. But only time will tell if his gamble for love will pay off.

Kamal Jackson is a black novelist who has reached an impasse in his career. His work is either too white for black audiences or too black for white audiences. He decides to do something about it, in spite of the opposition he gets from his new love interest, Yasmin.

Concocting a Caucasian-sounding pseudonym and a backstory to rival J. D. Salinger's, Kamal sets out to rework his most current novel for a new round of publishers.

Kamal must now ask if he is prepared to sacrifice his relationship with Yasmin and his identity as a writer of color in order to see his project through to its uncertain conclusion.

Описание:

For the first time in the history of Daily, Mississippi, the election ballot is completely divided, with a black and white candidate running for each office. Even more, the newly districted senatorial seat is up for grabs.

David McKlusky, a millionaire lawyer seeking to establish his own legacy outside the shadows of his wife's family, dives into the race, only to be consumed by personal issues that threaten to derail his candidacy.

Chante House, a recently minted lawyer, is encouraged to run for the senate seat by her mentor, a man who has a few secrets of his own.

And Keith Lawrence, a fifteen-year-old student at Daily High School, is wrestling with the loss of a classmate to racial violence and a detached mother who seems powerless to help him cope.

These three stories intersect against a landscape of race and politics in a historic election that threatens to change this small MIssissippi town forever.
