Publisher Description
With an unforgettable voice, Essence® bestselling author T.P. Carter delivers a stunning novel that takes readers into the mind and heart of an artist who loves like crazy. . .
Islam Ian has the world at his feet. Everywhere the talented painter goes- galleries, nightclubs, even the streets of London and New York-women are drawn to him. But Islam feels nothing but emptiness. Every encounter is just another fling, every breakup the same.
Then one night at a party, he is drawn to a mysterious woman who blows him away, a woman who can melt him with just a glance. After only a brief encounter, Islam can't get her off his mind. But as he falls deeper in love, his intense desire for this woman drives him to unpredictable emotional heights and forces him to question his morals, his limits, his beliefs, and even his sanity. . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Carter (Behind Those Eyes) explores the life of Islam, a tortured American artist who leaves his adopted London for hometown New York City to jump-start his artistic career. In New York he re-establishes a relationship with his brother Micah, who he became separated from after their mother's death. Before Islam leaves London, however, he falls for the mysterious Adrianne, and their destinies, Islam soon learns, are intertwined: she is married to the billionaire who owns the Manhattan gallery where Islam will be working, and his new job will put the lovers in frequent close contact. Erotic interludes abound as Adrianne and Islam each seek to fill the emptiness in each other and avoid detection by Adrianne's husband. Loving descriptions of artists from Kandinsky to Klimt pepper the text and help provide a firm grounding for the characters. However, the novel ends on a very off note that damages any emotional investment the reader has made. Excepting the last few pages, this is a solid effort.
