A steamy, erotic romance. A tale of love between friends, of sex, of distrust, of infidelity, of betrayal, of deception, and, ultimately, of the triumph of true love over adversity.

Louisa and Martin were friends, and nothing more – except they were very much closer than most friends. Living in the same block of flats (that’s “apartment building” for those in the USA…), they both moved in at the same time, he was in the early stages of a divorce and she was just out of a long-term relationship, and neither of them looking for anything more from each other than someone to talk to, a bit of friendly advice, a hug and a shoulder to cry on when needed. Even so, it often looked as though they might end up in bed together.

Martin had no desire to try to find a new girlfriend, but Louisa, it seemed, could not live without sex – and plenty of it. Her relationship with Tony, one of the sales reps where she worked, seemed to be developing nicely. As Louisa told Martin, Tony was definitely “husband material”. Steve, who she met in a bar, was something else, and sex with him was an experience that took her to new highs. Was there a risk that he was not what he seemed? Was she putting herself in danger by going back to see him? Would Martin rush to her rescue if everything went horribly wrong? And would he be too late?
