Gasping for Air

Book Description HTML

Ben, a strapping young tree surgeon, is suddenly struck down by breathlessness at the gym. Luckily for him Marcie, the intellectual PhD student, is there to help. Their new friendship rapidly develops into an amorous partnership, which helps them both face down the diverse troubles that fate throws into their path. Marcie supports Ben as the doctors reveal just how serious his condition is, whilst he encourages her to escape her stale liaison with a married man. Written during the coronavirus pandemic, but set in early noughties Newcastle upon Tyne, this is the deeply erotic story of two lovers finding each other, then drawing strength from their fast-paced and passionate relationship.
