Sylvia’s Secret Life by Cassandra Brown

Sylvia Thompson, a twenty-seven-year-old bookkeeper with an unremarkable appearance, has always dreamed of being drop-dead gorgeous and turning heads wherever she goes. Frustrated with her mundane life and lackluster relationship, she takes a leap of faith and seeks help from the enigmatic Mr. Lay, who claims to have a solution for any problem. "I want to be irresistible," Sylvia declares boldly. And so begins her descent into Mr. Lay's twisted world. Assigned to a ruthless teacher known only as the "Huntress," Sylvia is thrown into a secret second life where she is molded into a seductive force, targeting wealthy men at clubs, parties, and private gatherings. As her confidence and beauty grow, Sylvia becomes addicted to the thrill of her double life. But when she sets her sights on the elusive and desirable Malcolm, she faces countless obstacles, including his personal guards, a forbidden promise, and her own inner turmoil. Despite jeopardizing everything—her job, relationships, and sanity—Sylvia is determined to conquer Malcolm and claim him as her ultimate trophy. As she spirals deeper into this dangerous game, she must face the dark consequences of her actions and decide if the price of beauty is truly worth paying. *** As I sat down at the table, my heart raced and self-doubt crept in. "Relax, Sylvia," Huntress whispered into my ear, her breath warm and intoxicating. "Matt is here to help you learn the art of pleasure. And don't worry. He is one of my pets that doesn't bite." My pulse quickened at her words, and I glanced up at Matt, his captivating smile never wavering. He seemed confident, completely at ease with the situation. How could I ever measure up? "Tonight, darling," Huntress continued, her voice seductive. "Matt will be our...demonstration model. You'll learn firsthand how to satisfy a man, physically and emotionally."
