Velvet Trap: The Awakening Book 1

By Mael d'Armor

Book One of a mesmerising trilogy of seduction, entrapment, and ultimately, liberation.

Helen has the hots for her photographer. The kind of hots that can hit you when you pose nude in the tropics. Trouble is, Helen is newly married. And her honeymoon is about to kick off. And the photographer is a long-haired temptress - one with more appeal than a sex goddess.

Helen has never been with a girl. She's not like that, is she?

She can resist. But how can you do that when you're inches from the lens, and melting with desire? How can you say no when a blue-eyed siren is fanning your fire?

There is no way.  No way to escape that velvet trap.

Mael d'Armor

Born in a cosy village in Brittany, France, Mael D’Armor has worked as an academic, cartoonist and young children’s author. He came to Australia in search of wide spaces and exciting life forms. For reasons as yet unclear to him, this prompted his move into fiction and his first, award-winning short story was published in 2012. He writes about the complexities of desire, frustration, hope, love and French kissing - though not always in that order.
