The Lust Chronicles (The Carnal Diaries of the Awakened)

Leigha Date is determined to live life on her own terms—building her career, chasing pleasure, and avoiding anything that feels like commitment. But what begins as carefree exploration soon grows complicated as the men in her life start wanting more than just fleeting moments. There’s Andreas Karlsson, the college sweetheart turned ex, eager to prove he’s no longer the man she left behind. Gerace Hayesworth, her intriguing coworker who pulls her into the depths of the kink world, and his twin brother Darnell, a magnetic masseuse who introduces her to daring, public thrills. Chris Johnson blurs familiar boundaries after an unexpected shift in their dynamic, while Harunobu Sakamoto, a powerful and reserved widower, offers an intensity she can’t quite decode. And then there’s William MacFae, the enigmatic owner of a secretive club where desires—and secrets—run deep. As passion, curiosity, and emotional entanglements collide, Leigha is forced to confront what she truly wants. Will she risk it all for something deeper, or protect her freedom at any cost? Told through Leigha’s perspective, this story explores the highs, the lows, and the beautifully messy in-between of love, lust, and self-discovery.
