Produktbeschreibung
The author of the controversial "New York Times" nonfiction bestseller "On the Down Low" is back with a provocative tale of a sexy and powerful man who will do anything to have it all.... Music mogul James Lamar "Juice" Kennedy has a ruthless drive for sex, money, and power. When he meets sensuous, angel-voiced Brianna, he's determined to sign her to his label and get her luscious legs wrapped around him. With her silky skin and provocative curves, he finds her as fiery in the bedroom as she is on the charts. But Juice likes to have his cake and eat it too, and a hard-bodied man is one other dessert he can't resist. Juice has a plan to bring together six more of the most wealthy, powerful, and influential men in politics, entertainment, and media who share his seductive secret. If they band together, all of their wildest dreams -- and fantasies -- will come true. If they betray the brotherhood, the consequences are deadly. As Juice convenes his exclusive club, Brianna is quickly becoming the platinum-selling queen of hip-hop. Each day their relationship grows stronger, bringing Brianna closer to discovering Juice's deception. If his dangerous secret is exposed, he could lose everything he's worked, lied, stolen, and murdered for -- including the woman he loves.
Now in paperback, in the bestselling tradition of E. Lynn Harris, a gripping novel about a group of high-powered millionaires who each harbors a secret about their sexuality. Juice is a music mogul with the midas touch, so it’s no surprise that his fianceé is not just the queen of hip-hop—she is a multi-platinum-selling, six-time Grammy winner and also a fashion icon. Her father, a retired police officer, doesn’t approve of their relationship. While perhaps a bit overprotective, he sees through the luxurious lifestyle and feels like something is not quite right with Juice. But his suspicions are not enough to stop their wedding, the event of the year with all of hip-hop royalty attending. What the world doesn’t know is that Juice is the leader of an underground world of the most powerful men in the country who are on the DL, or down low, and hide their true sexuality from their public lives. The members are powerful and famous men worry that their true sexual preferences would take down the lives they’ve built. These men are mega church pastors, NBA stars, Fortune 500 businessmen, magazine publishers, fashion designers, and senators. Just as King’s bestselling book On the Down Low put the provocative topic of men who lie about their sexuality on the map, this new novel will have readers wondering if there is a real-life persona behind these fictional characters.
