LONDON—The debut novel by Mistress Kaz, Sordid Secrets, tackles taboo subjects and challenges the ideas of monogamy and explores same-gender sex, outside the confines of a loving relationship. Sordid Secrets is unlike conventional romance novels and tells a story of sex and deceit using powerful female role models to unfold the story, with the use of emotive and at times witty writing that bring the characters to life.
The book is an exploration of female sexuality and delves deeply into the minds of two female protagonists whose lives are thrown together, culminating in an emotional rollercoaster of lust, love and betrayal. The story is also told through the eyes of a straight heterosexual male, who finds that his values and attitudes towards love and sex are flipped on their heads.
Amy is a successful businesswoman who finds herself throwing off the restraints of her career to go off in search of excitement and desires of the flesh. When her path collides with that of the magnetic Lady Athena, she feels as if she has found her true calling. Yet, everything is never as it seems. Will Amy’s reckless behaviour tear apart everything she truly loves…?
Mistress Kaz is an actress, writer and columnist for the Daily Sport. She says many factors of the book were inspired by real-life events.
“I wanted to challenge everything that society is conditioned to believe about sex, whilst turning the reader on unfathomably!” she says.
The book is launching on Feb. 28.
