A broken man. A storm. A beautiful woman with a dark past and an even darker future.

In the mood for something naughty?

Luke and Allison Evans live a happy life in the wild and beautiful Carpathian Mountains.
But when their lives are torn apart by a dreadful event, Luke is left on his own to try and make sense of his existence.
With Hugo, his Chocolate Retriever as his sole companion, Luke chooses alcohol and old music to find oblivion and run away from pain. However, a storm changes everything again when it brings a mysterious woman with a baby at Luke's front door, forcing him to give life another chance.
Not far away, Eve Darkwood has her own methods of dealing with life. And death doesn't seem to stop in her tracks for too long.
And there's John, too, a man of many pleasures, broken and lost in his own way.
Their lives will intertwine and never be the same again.

*****

From debut author Lily Bloom comes a story of love, loss and all that the waves of life bring after that.

With a massive dose of darkness, mystery and eroticism, and described by readers as

"almost too hot to handle",
"sure to raise the temperature of any reader",
"don't read in public if you have a strong blush response",
"enthralling, great story that makes you read page after page holding your breath just to see what happens next and discover more about the characters",
"I loved every second of it!",

with "intimate scenes that are sensual and potent but with a shadow of sorrow hanging over some of them",

Velvet Touch will leave a mark in your heart that is bound to last.

This is a novel to be savored and remembered.

It contains sex and violence.

For adults only.

*****

Lily Bloom writes beautifully of Love (mostly erotic) and darkness - if you like Anais Nin and Henry Miller, you will undoubtedly appreciate Lily's fluid and sometimes languorous prose style. A marvellously assured debut, and I am sure this finely crafted novella will do well - move over DH Lawrence !!!
