Clara Fox knows she needs to set up the art gallery, but is distracted by the bouquet of flowers sent by her former lover Paul who wants a second chance. Clara misses the physical side, but does not miss him as he was way too controlling out of bed. Besides being unhappy to hear from appalling Paul, she is peeved at her boss gallery owner Mr. Xavier, who remained in his office while she hung up the heavy paintings.

Her emails are the usual except for one titled Ms. X sent by a Mr. X. He seems to know her libido's desires and needs, and her current state of ennui. She replies and soon they exchange explicit emails. Clara is curious who he is and how this 'Peeping Tom' knows her so intimately unless he is Paul. Bold, brassy, and brazen, she enters his realm of naughtiness doing things like nothing she ever did before. Whereas Paul continues his assault on a second him on top chance, he seems pale next to her trysts with the mysterious Mr. X and his companions as Clara is not bored anymore.

This is an ultra heated contemporary erotic romance that starts off with a heated email that burns a few thousand pixels and never takes a moment for the libido to catch his or her breath. Part of the fun is following Clara's efforts to uncover who Mr. X is, but LURED BY LUST is just what the title says as explicit is the name of the game.
