Publisher's Synopsis
When Noire, a hip Afro-wearing PhD student walks into Brown Betty Books she immediately feels self-righteous amongst the well-educated and well-monied people there. But then Innocent, an investment banker, walks in and turns her head. But to Noire he's one of them - a black moneyed cosmopolitan, while she prefers socially conscious (but economically challenged) artists and intellectuals. Their mutual attraction blossoms into lust - and eventually love - but it lives in the shifting sands of personal beliefs and professional ambitions that are often at odds.
