Leah Hayes seemingly has it all: a successful career, an upscale apartment overlooking Central Park, and a prosperous fiancé who hails from an even wealthier Connecticut family. She does her best to remind herself how lucky she is and often succeeds—except during those moments late at night when she finds herself pining for a life marked by a bit more passion and adventure. Yet her daydreams remain just that—until the morning she gets stuck on an elevator with one Sage Rawson.
Leah’s chance encounter with this charming, virile, irresistibly goodlooking businessman leads her to a steamy, unforgettable evening of torrid lovemaking in Sage’s office—the best sex, in fact, that Leah’s ever had. And though she knows that the sensible thing would be to let this affair remain a one-night stand and not jeopardize the life of comfort and luxury that marrying her fiancé, William, guarantees her, Leah cannot resist seeing Sage again. Soon, she’s immersed in this mysterious man’s world of kinky, adventurous sex that hitherto Leah thought only existed in novels and movies; additionally, she’s faced with a dilemma the likes of which she’s never had to confront: Does she break off with Sage and give up feeling more alive than she’s ever felt? Or does she end her engagement to William, forfeiting wealth, luxury, and security in exchange for sating these newly awakened carnal desires?
Unmerciful Passion is as much a novel of unputdownable entertainment as it is a poignant exploration of the difficult, life-altering choices all of us must make at some point. Redolent of the prose styles of Brian Moore, Charles Bukowski, and Bret Easton Ellis, while also evoking the classic works of Pauline Reage and Anaïs Nin, Unmerciful Passion is a work that strikes that perfect balance of entertainment, eroticism, and quality writing. Free on Kindle.
