Description
Sophie is done with the mundane. After years in a demanding career, this courageous New Yorker in her mid-thirties is ready to embrace a new mantra: play hard. No more dull dates, boring sex, or settling for less. With fierce determination, she transforms herself into a confident, unapologetic woman who knows exactly what she wants—and isn’t afraid to go after it.
Soon she meets Adrian, a captivating twenty-eight-year-old who becomes obsessed with her, unlocking a world of passion and love she never knew existed—until she nearly loses herself in unexpected darkness.
***If you crave a story that blends edgy excitement, soul-searching, and bold self-exploration, this contemporary romantic novel is your next must-read. Buckle up for a daring adventure that may inspire your own journey of liberation!***

Yes, yes, and another yes to the power of this book. Pierce is onto something with this resource. I learned a lot about my relationship and how to move forward. I found the information helpful and well-written. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
Helen W, Reviewer
Love, Sex, and the Narcissist surprised me. I’ll admit, the cover and title weren’t my usual vibe, but the description drew me in. It’s an honest look at toxic relationships—the kind where you’re pulled in by charisma, only to find yourself questioning your worth and reality. The push-and-pull, the gaslighting, the heartbreak—it all felt painfully real. I started thinking it might be about open relationships, but it turned into something much deeper. It’s reflective, relatable, and uncomfortably true for anyone who’s ever loved the wrong person. I’ll definitely return to it. Highly recommend. Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the ARC!
