Hi, bestie! Have you heard about A. D. Wrae's upcoming book, The Vespertine Treaty?
The Pleasure Principle plunges us into the chaotic life of Hazel, who’s deep in a existential crisis on her 25th birthday. Realising her life is more beige than a dental office wall, she drunkenly decides to spice things up.
Cue one ill-advised online shopping spree at a certain adult shop, and Hazel wakes up to a confirmation email and a series of texts inviting her to a curated in-store experience because one of her newly purchased, ahem, items is out of stock.
Mortified but committed to her buzzed promise to live a little, Hazel heads to the store and meets Khai Madsen: the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on, a passionate advocate for female pleasure, and the genius behind the toys shop.
He’s everything Hazel’s boring exes weren’t: confident, playful, unapologetically seductive, and very well versed in the bedroom.
A partnership blossoms, with Hazel getting a crash course in living boldly, while Khai gets to work closely with someone who sets his heart—and other things—racing.
But can their professional partnership evolve into something more? Can Manhattan’s notorious playboy Khai capture Hazel’s innocent heart? Will they find their happily ever after, or are they just paving the way for their next great loves?
