BLURB:

In a foreign land, a woman discovers exotic new realms of the senses.

“You were born to this. You may not understand, yet. You may not believe. But I will teach you.”

When software engineer Kate O’Neill leaves her lover David to take a job in Thailand, she embarks on a sensual journey that will change her forever.

In the glittering City of Angels, Kate becomes sexually involved with two very different men—a handsome and debauched member of the Thai aristocracy, and the charismatic, dominant proprietor of a sex bar. With Anand Rajchitraprasong, she discovers her own almost unlimited capacity for erotic pleasure. Meanwhile, Gregory Marshall shows her what she has hidden from herself: a deep desire to submit, to surrender herself body and soul to someone with the power and compassion to master her.

Each lascivious adventure binds her more closely to her lovers. Then David comes to Bangkok, and Kate realizes that she must choose one of the three men who all desire her.

Long considered an erotic classic, Raw Silk chronicles one woman’s intimate voyage toward love and self-understanding. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition has been freshly edited and includes a new introduction plus a bonus chapter.

EXCERPT

The room stayed bright with moonlight filtering in through the translucent curtains. The sliding door to the balcony was open. Through the screen, the gentle breeze brought the garden scents into the room.

Despite her exhaustion, Kate found it difficult to sleep. After all, it was the middle of the day back in her normal time zone. The moon made patterns on her closed eyelids. She tried the strategy of focusing on them, watching them ebb and flow like wavelets on a beach. She began to drift a little along with the moon-tides.

Then, she heard a sound, or thought she did, a human sound like a cry or moan. Silently she rose, and went over to the balcony door, peering between the curtains. Was there someone there, perhaps hidden in the deep shadows under the twining tree? Then she heard the noise again, from the left, the far corner of the garden, where the moon shone full on an intricate sculpture of a Thai temple.

At first she could not see anything. Then, as her eyes adjusted to the brightness, she discerned discerned two figures below the temple on its pedestal. A man and a woman, in a fervent embrace.

Ae’s multicolored sarong revealed the identity of the woman. Her companion’s face was in shadow, hidden in the luxurious mass of her hair.
