Description: From the bedroom to the boardroom, this entertaining, clever work of social satire explores seduction, scandal, excess, betrayal, desire, dreams, and deception through one of a kind characters: Manny Marks, a real estate broker to New York City's affluent, selling to the highest bidder even if it's not property he's pandering; Tandy Brooks whose "friends" Ed and Lauren Thomas are her ticket to the good life, and Manny Marks her partner in crime; Ed Thomas, a man of power and prestige with roguish ways that could cost him the one possession he loves the most, his wife; Lauren Thomas married Ed for love, but is it enough to sustain her marriage and contain her spirit? In this compelling first novel, Tonya Lewis Lee and Crystal McCrary Anthony give us a rare glimpse inside the fashionable and urbane world of New York's African-American society and its intricate scandals, foibles, and skeletons.
