Synopsis

Pleasure Beach is a queer love story from the North West's saucy seaside paradise, Blackpool, on one day: 16th June 1999. Written in multiple voices and styles, Pleasure Beach follows the interconnecting journeys and thoughts of three young women over the course of 24 hours and over 18 chapters which are structured and themed in the same way as Homer's Odyssey and James Joyce's Ulysses.
Hedonist and wannabe playwright Olga Adessi, 19, is struggling along the prom to get to her morning shift at the chippy with a monstrous hangover, trying to remember exactly what happened last night with Rachel Watkins, 19, a strange and fragile girl she had an encounter with the night before. Former gymnast and teenage mum Treesa Reynolds, 19, is off to the Sandcastle Waterpark with her mum Lou and daughter Lulu, looking forward to a sausage and egg McMuffin on the way.

    I grew up knowing it would happen one day. Believing that I would fall into my father's footsteps and become a monster of my own making. So I fought it. I lived. I loved. I teased. And then one day . . . I destroyed. And realized I loved the pain. Obsessed over the feeling. So I cut again and again and again. 
     
     
     
    She saw my rage, my madness, and tried to stop me from destroying myself, and I hated her for it, pushing her away past the point of no return. 
     
     
     
    Izzy Abandonato was supposed to be mine. But there are some things people can never come back from. I hurt her, she hurt me, and now I'm living a lie. Telling the ones I love that I'm on one side when for years I've been forced to play both. I'm no angel. I've fallen. And I may single-handedly bring down the Cosa Nostra—by default. 
     
     
     
    I, Maksim Sinacore, will have my vengeance. I will win her back. Even if it means I have to kill everyone in my path. 
     
     
     
    The pain masks the betrayal. I never realized that one day—I'd be the very rat that I hated. That I was sent to kill. But once you're deep in a lie—you'll do anything to hide the truth. 
     
     
     
    She fell for the bad one. She fell for the sinner. So why does that make me smile?

    "Okay," I agree softly. "I'll go." 
    	I feel weightless as he drops my hand before sliding both of his around my 
    waist. I reach for his shoulders to steady myself. I doubt that my feet will 
    support me so I'm grateful that he's carrying the brunt of my weight. 
    	I don't turn to look at the audience. I can hear my name being tossed out 
    but anything beyond that is unintelligible and lost beneath the low hums of 
    the people standing on the stage. I know they all are thinking the same 
    thing. The reckless abandon of my pose in the picture, and the fact that I 
    had a broad smile on my face as I held open my barista uniform to reveal 
    my nude breasts, draws instant conclusions. They all think I'm a joke. No 
    one in the tech world will ever take me seriously after this.

    A steamy and emotional standalone MM firefighter-hockey player romance … 
    "I loved Jude and Hudson and their hard-won romance! Watching them fight their love, then fall in love was everything!" - #1 NYT Bestselling Lauren Blakely 
     
    It was supposed to be a random hookup. 
    At a crossroads, my life a hot mess, I swiped right on the guy with the washboard abs and the tree-trunk thighs. His handle was Holt (yeah, really) but as soon as he opened the door, I recognized him: Hudson Grey, the hottest prospect in pro-hockey and apparently, secretly playing for my team. Not mind-blowing enough? He needed someone to punch his V-card, and I was only too happy to volunteer as tribute . . . 
    Then he ghosted me when it got to be too much. 
    A year later, my life is back on track and I’m a candidate firefighter at legendary Engine 6. While I might be new to the Chicago Fire Department, I’m a veteran in the game of steamy hookups. My No. 1 rule? No newbies. Except now Hudson has been traded to my hometown team, the Chicago Rebels, and he’s out, proud, and ready to date. And he wants my help introducing him to the local gay scene. 
    My messy past means I’m the worst guy to be mentoring the shy, sexy jock. But neither can I stand by and watch while others touch the man who already feels like mine. 
    I might have been his first, but I’m about to learn that the new guy has even more to teach me about hunger, hope, and falling hard . . . 
    Includes: First times, hot firefighters, sexy hockey players, mini-golf shenanigans, meddling friends, and fighting like hell for the love of a lifetime.
