Jervey Tervalon delivered "a marvelous read" (USA Today) in Dead Above Ground, his national bestselling novel of a troubled Southern family. Now his literary landscape shifts to the West Coast, in this compelling portrayal of a young black university professor living life on his own terms -- a life entangled in the complex relationships with the women who desire him.
All Jordan Davis wants is a smooth ride, speeding his Triumph along the 101, living the beautiful life among the beautiful people of Santa Barbara. But trouble seems to find him at every turn in the road. There's Trisha, the seductive twenty-two-year-old virgin from the glamorous foothills...Mary, the angry white girl whose defiance is a definite turn-on...and Daphne, an exotic, forbidden student, and keeper of shadowy secrets. They all want to define him, limit him, turn him into what they want him to be. But for Jordan, the ultimate question is what does he want out of life -- and can a man truly create a destiny that isn't defined by his race or his past?

From the award-winning author of acclaimed debut Understand This comes the paperback edition of his latest spellbinding novel about what happens when life gets out of control. Jordan is a young black professor in search of broader horizons, ones not defined by race or class. Having an affair with Daphne, a wealthy woman who also happens to be one of his students, is one step closer to this new world. Meanwhile Sophia, a young, Nubian beauty, is in love with him. Jordan's life only grows more complicated for him and everyone who features in it, when Daphne escapes from her abusive husband, Mark. He is not just about to roll over and die, and the emotional strain begins to take its toll on Jordan and Daphne's burgeoning relationship. Sophia becomes engaged to a man with a secret that threatens to explode their relationship, and when Daphne becomes pregnant, the lives of all the players intersect in ways none of them could have predicted.
