Clair's rabbit dies on a Thursday. By Saturday she's standing in a sex shop she never thought she'd enter, buying things she never thought she'd use.

What starts as a quiet attempt to rekindle something that's gone flat between her and her boyfriend quickly becomes something far more electric. A vibrating ring. Weighted balls she wears all day. A plug he steals and keeps in while she rides him. A strap-on that turns the tables completely. Each new toy peels back another layer of curiosity, control, and hunger neither of them expected.

Then the list appears—written on the back of a takeout receipt—and the lines on it start to get bolder. Soft cuffs. Edging that lasts for hours. The possibility of another man.

When Clair invites her longtime gay friend Jay over and they finally ask the question out loud, the answer is immediate. What follows is raw, intimate, and transformative: blindfolds, submission, and the sight of the man she loves on his knees for someone else while she watches and directs.

Clair's Toys is a steamy, character-driven erotic novel about a couple who open the door to their desires and discover that the more they give in, the more there is to explore.
