For his final new series, New York Times mega-bestselling author E. Lynn Harris introduces Bentley L. Dean, owner of the hottest modeling agency in Miami’s sexy South Beach.

Only the world’s most beautiful models make the roster of Picture Perfect Modeling agency and they only do shoots for the most elite photographers and magazines. They are fashionista royalty—and the owners, Bentley L. Dean and his beautiful partner Alexandra, know it. But even Picture Perfect isn’t immune from hard times, so when Sterling Sneed, a rich, celebrity party planner promises to pay a ludicrously high fee for some models, Bentley finds he can’t refuse. Even though the job is not exactly a photo shoot, Bentley agrees to supply fifteen gorgeous models as eye candy for an “A” list party—to look good, be charming and, well, entertain the guests. They don’t have to do anything they don’t want to, but...

His models are pros and he figures they can handle the pressure, until one drops out and Bentley asks his protégé Jah, a beautiful kid who Bentley treats as if he were his own son, to substitute. Suddenly, the stakes are much higher, particularly when Jah falls in love with the hottest African American movie star in America. Seth Sinclair is very handsome, very famous, and very married—and his closeted gay life makes him very dangerous as well. Can Bentley’s fatherly guidance save Jah from making a fatal mistake?

About the Author:

E. Lynn Harris (1955-2009) was the author of eleven novels and the memoir What Becomes of the Brokenhearted. Ten of his novels—including Mama Dearest, Basketball Jones, and Just Too Good to be True—hit the New York Times bestseller list. Harris was known for writing about men who were black, gay and closeted, introducing many readers to little-talked-about subjects. Unable to sell his first novel, Invisible Life, he self-published and sold copies out of the trunk of his car. He was born in Flint, Michigan, and grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas. He attended the University of Arkansas, where he was the first male cheerleader, and remained a dedicated Arkansas Razorbacks fan throughout his life. He divided his time between Atlanta, Georgia, and Fayetteville, Arkansas, before his death in 2009.
Review:


“E. Lynn’s fans will be thrilled by this, his last book.  I love his candor and honesty. He seemed to have turned a corner here. This novel speaks for all of those who can’t, refuse and shouldn’t have to live a lie, but still feel a need for acceptance, which is basically respect, but most of all love. I hope this story resonates with all of us.”—Terry McMillan, bestselling author of The Interruption of Everything and How Stella Got Her Groove Back

“Before he died last year, Harris wrote this bangup first installment to a projected series about a bisexual owner of a Miami modeling agency. . . . Harris’s wry tale about second chances highlights what readers have long loved about his work: his ability to depict the pursuit of love and self-respect, regardless of societal and family pressures.”—Publishers Weekly

“In his new book In My Father’s House, E. Lynn Harris returns to the kind of unforgettable storytelling that made him a national best selling phenomenon. His characters are alive, sassy, vibrant and lovable, even when you don’t want to love them. I can’t wait for you to meet Bentley . . . there is no question that the master storyteller we’ve come to love is BACK!”—Marva Allen, CEO Hue-Man Bookstore & Cafe

In My Father’s House is Harris’s eleventh novel. With his fiction and memoir, What Becomes of the Brokenhearted, Harris had taken black gay fiction out of the closet and to bestseller lists as prestigious as those of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Harris’s works explore the lives and sexual situations of aspirational characters of color in deliciously decadent situations. In My Father’s House, which focuses on the worlds of fashion and beauty, is no exception. . . . In My Father’s House will certainly be a welcome addition to the libraries of fans that were shocked and saddened by Harris’ sudden death. The novel is the fitting final chapter to an exemplary career.”—Examiner.com

“E. Lynn Harris delivers a salacious page-turner about love, lust, betrayal and murder.”—Jet


“...longtime fans of Harris can look forward to jaw-dropping shockers, plot twists and love triangles that became the beloved author’s hallmark.”—Juicy magazine
