Can one man meet all of a woman's needs, both sexual and emotional? The female narrator of "Pleasure" struggles with this question in the newest work by the bestselling author of "Waking with Enemies."
New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey, "one of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century" explores the depths of desire in this sensual blockbuster.Born in Trinidad and living in Atlanta after a relationship gone bad, Nia Simone Bijou is an ambitious writer who has it all. Except for the one thing that'll give her the control she craves-and the power she deserves- absolute, uninhibited sexual satisfaction. Now, in the sweltering days and nights of summer, the heat is on. Nia's fantasies will become a reality-with man after man after man. She will shatter the limits of erotic love. She will open herself up to experiences she never dared before. And as her fantasies begin to spin out of control, she'll discover the unexpected price of the extreme.The New York Times
