Desire (Audible Audio Edition): Amy Wallace, Karyn O'Bryant, Crossroad Press: Audible Books & Originals

The Pearl of Celebes is a rare and mysterious gemstone that holds the power to fulfill or deny one's heart's desires.

This intricately crafted novel by Wallace takes the reader on an erotic journey through the obsessions that drive people towards their deepest desires.

With its unique blend of sacred and profane love, this book is sure to captivate readers from the very first page.

The protagonist, Lily van Velsen, is a pearl "doctor" gemologist who discovers her ancestors' illicit romances and relationships with demon lovers through a series of diaries.

As she delves deeper into these accounts, she finds herself drawn towards a dark destiny of her own, involving an affair with artist Johnny Penthe and a yearning for the opium that can calm her spirit.

But only when she is "purified" can she cut the Pearl of Celebes, which carries a curse or blessing for its owner.

Will you take the chance to unlock the secrets of this enchanting gemstone?
