Pleasure Planet
by Claire Thompson, Beverly Havlir

Eros by Claire Thompson
Aria Loran has just paid a princely sum for a one-week vacation she'll never forget. Too busy and powerful for "real love", Aria has "rented" a mate who is guaranteed to be the man of her dreams. She doesn't bargain for the telepathic lover who will explore fantasies she has barely admitted, even to herself. Forced to submit as his sex slave, Aria connects with fears and desires deep within her psyche. As the week draws to a close, Aria must face losing a man who can't be real and a love that most certainly is.

Claire Thompson's Bio

I have always loved to write. My work began as a romantic exploration of the BDSM life style, and then veered somewhat to the darker side of fantasy. I was able to delve into "rough stuff", things that compelled me in the abstract, though I wouldn't necessarily want to experience them. My more current work has returned to the more romantic inclinations of consensual submission.

The majority of my novels deal with the romance of erotic submission. I also enjoy historical erotic romance, vampire play and my latest foray into male/male erotic love. It is important to me to write about real people, characters I and my readers come to care about. I don't want to simply provide an erotic thrill or evocative description. With my BDSM work, I seek not only to tell a story, but to come to grips with, and ultimately exalt in the true beauty and spirituality of a loving exchange of power. My darker works press the envelope of what is erotic and what can be a sometimes dangerous slide into the world of sadomasochism. I strive to write about the timeless themes of sexuality and romance, with twists and curves to examine the romantic side of the human psyche. Ultimately my work deals with the human condition, and our constant search for love and intensity of experience.
