Joan works at a struggling used book store in New York City where she’s grown increasingly obsessed with a sensual classic erotic novel about a young woman’s passion for a sexy man with a piercing gaze. One day, a strong, tall, gorgeous man who looks as if he’s come right out of the pages of the novel walks through the door of her shop: Bryce Worthington. Joan falls for him at first sight and sneaks into his hotel room to bring him a copy of the book. Suddenly, she finds herself trapped with him for days, and they live out a passionate romance straight from the pages of Joan’s beloved erotica.
