The Naked Book Club: A Merlin Heights Book - Paperback

by Jennifer Aline (Author)

Faced with postpartum depression, raising her daughter alone, and a looming apartment search, Nel is spiraling. With no help from her daughter's father and little support from her family, she isn't sure where to start or who to turn to.

Until her college roommate stumbles back into her life ten years after graduation.

Rosie didn't expect to end up at her former roommate's apartment after wallowing in shots of tequila. After discovering Rosie was kicked out of her burlesque troupe, Nel invites her to become her roommate, yet again, so they can save a few bucks and figure out their next steps.

Combining their love for romance novels and Rosie's flair for performance, the two launch The Naked Book Club-a livestream where they read steamy romance novels clad in lingerie...for money. But as their business grows, so do the pressures of their unresolved pasts. Family drama, toxic situationships, rekindling what could have been, and deep-seated trauma threaten everything they've built. As reality merges with their lives behind the camera, they must confront those pulling them back if they want to progress forward.

Trauma can't hide behind lace masks and smutty scenes forever. But what-and who-is worth moving forward for...and at what cost?
