Maya and Ilan have an unusual marriage: Maya agrees to tolerate Ilan's chronic infidelity as long as she can participate and he will never stray without her. To her surprise, she finds their threesomes as arousing as they are disturbing and, for a while, everything seems fine. But as Maya's writing career takes off and she becomes more independent, Ilan feels threatened, and opts for another kind of sexual experimentation - one that plays on Maya's fear and ultimately threatens her life.

Meanwhile, Maya is drawn into another relationship with a fateful third character. When her new liaison begins to mirror her marriage to Ilan, Maya discovers that her lover, seemingly a stranger, knows far more about her past than she has revealed.

A compelling chronicle of obsession and power, 3 brings new immediacy to a timeless question: what is the greatest sacrifice you would make for love?

Reviews

Sexy, moving and well-written...will enthrall as well as excite

—— Kevin Baker, author of Paradise Alley

In this terrific début, Julie Hilden does what few writers can or dare to: She has written an erotic, truly sexy thriller. 3 is smart, sexy, strange, and impossible to put down

—— Dani Shapiro, author of Family History

Richard Asplin's romp through Hollywood is comic and thrilling. I whipped one page over so fast it tore

—— Ben Hatch, author of The Lawnmower Celebrity

Big cast, big characters and jokes-a-plenty, it puts Asplin straight up there with Carl Hiaason and Mr Elton

—— Emlyn Rees, co-author of Come Together & Love Lives

It is beautifully done. Thorpe perfectly captures the inconsequential nature of adolescence...powerful reading

—— The Economist
