The Dharma Comes — S. Ford Brown

Luke Jamison is the perfect catch--a handsome pro surfer billionaire business magnate. Miranda Oh is the perfect siren--a spirited young surfer unburdened by sexual mores. But, what began as a simple business proposal is spinning wildly out of control and no happily ever after is in sight. While Miranda wrestles with her inner good girl and inner bad girl over Luke's indecent proposal, Luke must confront his inability to commit and make the most important decision of his life. This novel is the tunnel vortex of the heaviest wave ever ridden. It sucks you in and takes you deep into the well. This book is dangerous. Dangerous because this book has no agenda other than to get you the reader turned on by taking you down the line of a wave for a ride that ravishes your soul and leaves you barreled and breathless. It is not in the tradition of any other new adult romance or erotica novel you've ever read. It seeks nothing more than the truth by following the untethered paths of Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson, Jackie Collins, Stephanie Meyers, and of course, E.L. James. Think Lucky Santangelo meets a Japhy Ryder version of Fifty Shades. A new adult novel with gorgeous surfers, hardcore sex, Beat poetry, and beach bonfires, all while on the path to enlightenment in the truest sense. Fifty Shades this is not. Call it a romance novel, but if so, then it's a romance with experimentation itself. Call it a new adult novel, but what these twenty-somethings are doing is nothing new. Call it a literary genre that defies convention, a young nomadic surfer, in search of the perfect wave, a millionaire Dharma Bum who rides the big waves for profit. Perhaps you'll find love in these pages, a great swell of it pulses throughout the story, but mostly this novel provides the exhilaration of living life to the fullest. This novel matters because its rawness and openness present a new type of literature for a new audience that places the reader in the eye of the needle and demands that they look. What is out there has been there all along. Open your eyes. I want you to see this, the story demands.
