Never the Face

Book excerpt: The most exquisite passions are also the most dangerous... The heroine of Never the Face is searching. Dissatisfied with love, bored with sex; in her experience, all lovers are predictably dull – and she longs for more, for an intensity she knows exists and has yet to discover. Then, just after her thirty-third birthday, she runs into David, an old flame who's now married. He invites her to dinner. And then he invites her to his bed. Before long, unable to resist the allure of sexual submission, she falls into an addictive affair that is both violent and stunningly intimate. As she opens herself up more and more to David's appetites, she is taken to new heights of pleasure. But the more time they spend together, the more their bond both deepens and unravels. How far will David take it? And how far will she be willing to go? Written in beautiful, savage prose, Never the Face takes its characters and readers on a dark erotic journey, where closed doors are opened and the most shocking secrets are laid bare...
