Three couples. Two weeks at an all-inclusive resort. One twisted game: "Come for the tantalizing premise and exotic location, stay for the searing societal critique and hottest [spice] you’ll ever see on the page" (Kate Storey, New York Times bestselling author).

Alice and Tom have been married for sixteen years and are desperate for a baby. Melissa and Callum are newlyweds, hoping their honeymoon will create social media gold. Rebecca and Ryan are childhood sweethearts who seem to have a picture-perfect marriage.

When the couples befriend one another in Mexico, the decision to vacation together feels effortless, as though that was the plan all along. It was. No one suspects Rebecca and Ryan have a game to play—or that Melissa and Tom have been selected for it.

The goal is simple: Seduce your target by whatever means necessary. It’s a game Rebecca and Ryan have played before. But as boundaries are pushed and loyalties tested, will this game finally be the one that goes too far?

Critic reviews

"Come for the tantalizing premise and exotic location, stay for the searing societal critique and hottest sex you’ll ever see on the page. The Pleasure Trap is a startlingly accomplished, utterly seductive debut, so compulsive and thought provoking, I’ll be recommending it to everyone I know."
—Kate Storey, New York Times bestselling author of The Memory Library

"Hot, sexy, and shimmering with tension, The Pleasure Trap is the wickedly fun book you’ll want to devour by the pool this summer."
—Lucy Clarke, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Surf House

"A slice of naughty, entertaining fun."
—Claire Fuller, author of Unsettled Ground

"This clever, witty debut is as searingly honest about long-term relationships as it is searingly hot in the bedroom. White Lotus-level glamorous yet completely relatable, I read it in two sittings."
—Kate Riordan, author of The Heatwave

"Powerful, poignant and provocative. A novel of power dynamics, of lust, and love and greed. I inhaled it."
—L.V. Matthews, author of To Love a Liar
