BLURB
When a secret hidden deep beneath the wardrobe becomes the spark of a bitter rift, she must use the touch of real flesh and blood to prove that no toy could ever rival the living, breathing heart right before her.
A combination-locked security box that had lain dormant beneath the wardrobe for over a year detonates the foundation of their relationship on a quiet holiday afternoon. While cleaning, Gift accidentally drops the heavy container, cracking it open to reveal a hidden collection of adult toys.
Old scars and creeping insecurity convince Gift that she is simply too dull in bed to satisfy her partner. But for Toey, those plastic and silicone novelties are monuments to past shame—painful reminders of a stigma telling her that her unique, naturally gifted anatomy might never truly be desired by another woman.
When misunderstanding spirals into a reckless, boundary-crossing provocation, Toey can no longer seek refuge behind silence. A fierce, searing trial of claiming and touch begins in the flesh, driving home to the woman beneath her that no artificial substitute could ever offer the sensation, the ecstasy, and the profound love of the woman holding her right now.
