The Secret Ecology of Sex

Laurel Bradford has lived her adult life in an insulated world of her own making. But when her husband dies unexpectedly, that world is upended, and Laurel is launched toward a path of professional, sexual, and ecological discovery. Under the tutelage of wise and mysterious escort-cum-environmental activist Dak Gordon, Laurel's universe will expand to the far reaches of the globe, and when she opens herself to vibrant new experiences, she'll find opportunities she never knew existed...

This is not a run of the mill romance novel. It is an eco-fiction tale spiced with current issues, based on fact, that will keep you reading. (Never heard of Kiribati? Read the book-it will leave you wanting to know more.)
