Meet Maya Hope. Double-dipped in cocoa with brick-house curves, she's a lover of jazz, a political poet, and a sociologist with a broken heart. Her best friend and roommate Athena Wagner is her opposite in every way- a petite ex-cheerleader who's always blaring rap, grinding out rhymes, and ready to take the next man home. When Maya is forced to fill in at one of Athena's auditions, she finds herself on an undercover escapade in the wild world of hip-hop as the sexy rapper Jezebel.

After striking a deal with her own personal devil, Maya sets off on the tempting roller-coaster ride of a lifetime -- finding more fun than she's ever had and trying to choose between two loving men...but not without consequences. An off the hook cast of colorful characters includes Lucy, the diva deluxe brand-addicted publicist from hell; Shell the Boy Wonder, label boss and Thug, the handsome hardcore rapper with something to prove. Dare is an unforgettable, envelope-pushing odyssey of two gutsy women playing by their own rules and trying not to lose themselves in the music in this contemporary satirical retelling of Faust. Not your standard urban read, this juicy literary tale belongs in contemporary fiction, women's fiction or chick lit.
