A boiling cauldron of emotions was churning inside of me. I had not felt this way or worn anything like this for a long time. Not since Dominik.
Shaken by the sudden death of her lover, Dominik, renowned violinist Summer Zahova finds her sadness quickly giving way to anger at being left alone. Distancing herself from friends and family, she embarks on a grueling world tour, alleviating her grief through frenzied nights with strangers.
Summer’s heartache finally starts to heal when she meets Antony, a mysterious theater director who casts her in his new play and quickly becomes her lover. But when Antony’s production begins to lose investors because of its explicitly sexual tone, Summer contacts Aurelia and Andrei, the organizers of a mysterious ball, in the hopes of finding a different kind of stage on which to perform. They present her with the opportunity of a lifetime—one that takes her to the heights of ecstasy, where pain and passion meld into a breathtakingly powerful overture . . .
Autumn is the 1st book in the Pleasure Quartet, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

      After losing her lover Dominik to a sudden heart attack months ago, talented violinist Summer Zahova begins drowning her grief in rough sex with strangers, using the feeling of being used to quell the sharp pain of her loss. Knowing she is broken in a way that casual sex cannot fix, Summer allows herself to be taken to a mystical island with friends, finding solace and surrender from pleasure that she's not quite certain is real. Back home, new beginnings emerge in the form of the passionate, alluring Antony Torgerson, the man who wants to adapt her late lover's novel for the stage. Summer quickly finds enticing familiarity in Antony's enthusiasm for his craft and for sex as the two embark on a tumultuous affair while collaborating to bring Dominik's book to life. When the play loses funding over its heightened sexuality, Summer realizes that the mysterious couple who orchestrated her island spectacle could take their show beyond anyone's wildest erotic dreams. VERDICT Jackson has set the bar high with this stunning opening of "The Pleasure Quartet." Darkly erotic, this novel edges toward the heavier side of the genre, occasionally depicting sex scenes in which consent is ambiguous. Volatile protagonist Summer is all too aware, and at times afraid, of her hunger for pain and the ease with which danger seduces her. Writing team Jackson's arresting prose infuses this sensuous tale.
