Discovering Leigh - A Dark Romance

Gerry Pelser

When safe and familiar leaves Leigh feeling empty, she finds true satisfaction is in discovering darker desires.
Desperate to escape her ordinary existence, if only for a night, Leigh McCabe dances her woes away in an underground nightclub where she is introduced to Mikey Marais—in his Saturday-night guise as ‘Sir Michael’: a master of Shibari and a connoisseur of Dominance and submission.
Eager to explore the enticing new world Mikey offers, Leigh embarks with Sir Michael as her instructor on a scandalous and secretive journey.
As he explores her mind and body from behind the lens and beneath the sheets, she discovers more than just the inherent pleasures of deviant desires; she unlocks parts of herself she never knew: parts now refusing to stay buried, and which make her feel whole for the first time.
While Sir Michael connects with her on more than a physical level, he has secrets of his own. An inner demon is scratching at the surface, and she's been the only one close enough to discover his truth.
But when a past lover returns to stake his claim, Leigh will not only have to choose between the two men she loved, but also the woman she wants to become.
How far will she go for love?
“Discovering Leigh is a brilliant read from a debut author. An unputdownable page-turner filled with real, human characters that will keep you on the edge of your seat, pleasantly surprising you almost every page until the very last word.”
