Permission

an erotic thriller

Josie trusts her husband with everything.

So when she wants another woman, she asks permission.

Eli says yes.

Mila is magnetic, attentive, and startlingly good at seeing the parts of Josie everyone else misses. What begins as one sanctioned encounter becomes something shared nights, private jokes, and a relationship that seems to give Josie more love instead of less.

The sense of safety begins to crack under pressure from the outside world.

Mila’s past refuses to stay buried. Someone is watching too closely. Boundaries blur and the life Josie thought she understood begins to feel subtly, dangerously wrong.

But every explanation makes sense.

Individually.

And by the time Josie figures out which danger to fear, it may be too late to take any of it back.

For readers of The Arrangement and The Wife Between Us, Permission is a dark, erotic psychological thriller about desire, consent, and obsession.
