The doctor will see you now... and she won't stop until you're broken.
Cole and Clara are a couple on the brink. Their intimacy is a ghost, and their marriage has become a polite arrangement of silences. Desperate to reclaim what they've lost, they seek out the legendary and enigmatic Dr. Aris, a therapist known for unorthodox methods and a 100% success rate.
In Leading By Example, the first book of the Couples Intimacy Therapy series, the sanctuary of Dr. Aris is revealed to be a laboratory of the senses. Here, clothing is armor, pride is a disease, and the doctor is the only one with the cure.
From the moment Cole is commanded to strip and face his own physical inadequacies, to the shocking moment Dr. Aris intervenes to demonstrate the technical excellence of pleasure herself, the couple realizes they are no longer in control. They are being remade by a master who demands total surrender of their bodies and their secrets.
As Clara watches the doctor pleasure her husband, she discovers a dark, burgeoning hunger she never knew she possessed. But as they return home, they realize the therapy hasn't ended. The walls are watching, the curriculum is evolving, and Dr. Aris is just getting started.
