Book Description
Makira is an ambitious and attractive liberal arts professor at Oliver Johnson University. She enjoys her job, but she also yearns for more. She carries a lifelong desire for true love—something that, at thirty years old, she has never come close to finding. Perhaps that is partially due to her father, the CEO and namesake of the school where she works. All Makira’s life, Oliver has brainwashed his daughter into believing that white people are devils and cannot be trusted. His doctrine has molded every facet of her life, so for the longest time, Makira has followed the mantra: “Don’t trust any race but your own.” But her beliefs are shaken when she finds herself drawn to new assistant professor Christian. Christian is the only white man on Oliver Johnson’s all-black campus. Beautiful, brilliant, but inexperienced Makira immediately enchants him. It isn’t long before Makira begins to return his affections—mind, body, and soul. Still, she remains blinded by her father’s radical beliefs. She struggles to deny her feelings for Christian, but the fire of love will not be extinguished. It is time for Makira to make a choice: break free from her father’s influence or grow to become a bitter, unhappy woman.

If you go away and leave me to wander aimlessly, alone in this sea become wild, like a ship with a broken rudder and drowned sailors, and if I don't find comfort in the warmth of your body, clutched in my embrace at the end of the day, I'm afraid I won't survive.
