A suspense thriller with a murder mystery at its heart, Black Leather begins with two blonde sisters, one black husband and a murdered Navajo. Reality becomes increasingly uncertain as a husband works to help his accused wife. Evidence isn't what it seems to be, neither woman is who she seems to be, and all three hold close their dark secrets. His long-repressed temptations resurface as he slides deeper and deeper into the sisters' sleazy world of black leather, racial preferences, razor sharp toys and mistaken identities. Is he married to a murderer, or just sleeping with one? One thing is for sure—both women are trouble, and he can't stay away. A dark erotic thriller by the internationally-acclaimed Elizabeth Engstrom."A darkly seductive page-turner by a writer who knows how to put the erotic thrill into a thriller." –DarkEcho
