Firefighter David Coffey and his childhood sweetheart, Gwen, had the perfect marriage--until a deadly blaze almost cost them everything they cherished and left their small town in mourning.

Three years later, David is recovered from his injuries and back at work, trying to move on. But Gwen is falling apart. Debilitating panic attacks strike whenever they make love, driving her away from David and threatening the heart of their relationship.

Gwen's escalating fears land her on the therapist's couch at David's insistence, but as they struggle toward a solution, one question burns in their minds--will their sensual treatment plan save their once fiery passion, or will the flames of Gwen's fear devour their sex life and incinerate the bonds of their marriage?

Pearls of Pleasure is 45,000 words, or about 145 pages, and also includes an excerpt of Pearls of Passion.
