picture this… one day all the white folks of america no longer exist. in this sci-fi, a black father and his estranged mixed daughter set off on a journey in search of answers as they cross a truly “post-racial” america in search of answers. i’ll tell you this much — it isn’t the world you imagine.

the time is finally here! jasmine guillory’s highly anticipated new release and queer romance debut is set to release this month. i’m cracking it open this week, and cannot wait to see what steamy love she comes up with this time.
