One night, one alley, one scream that never quite ended.
In the quiet town of Elmwood, Sarah Mills stumbles into a rape in progress and saves a stranger's life, only to awaken an ancient curse that turns sex into a weapon, a ritual, and a doorway. What begins as a string of brutal assaults becomes something far darker: a lineage of hunger that wears love as a mask and mercy as a blade.
Bound to the two people she dares to love, Sarah must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to protect the innocent, and how much darkness she can swallow before she becomes the very thing she fights.
Erotic, unflinching, and relentlessly suspenseful, Meaning of Sex is a thriller about desire as destiny, love as warfare, and the terrifying moment when a woman realizes the monster was never outside her skin; it was waiting for permission to come home.
