The Afternoons Of A Woman Of Leisure cover

A novel of tantalising eroticism that melds literature with the frisson of forbidden pleasures - a revenge tale with a twist

Joanna has everything a woman could desire: as the young, beautiful wife of a wealthy financier, her days are her own to spend at leisure - but her nights are solitary. Her older husband sleeps alone, and Joanna increasingly seeks some traces of danger to satisfy her.

Several chance encounters shock Joanna into action. She becomes involved with the mysterious 'O', a woman whose clients experiment with pleasure, pain and 'issues of control'. Joanna's experiences with 'O' are exciting, but also dangerous and set her on a path of discovery; identities are revealed, alliances shifted and plots undertaken. As Joanna begins to gather secrets she lays the foundation of a wicked revenge.

Daring and dangerous, The Afternoons of a Woman of Leisure is one story of self-discovery that you won't be able to forget.
