If you’ve been reading me as Phoebe Pearl, you know what I do: heat that doesn’t apologize, characters who want what they shouldn’t, and endings that leave a mark. That isn’t changing. But I’ve been wanting to write something different, and I’m finally doing it.
I’m writing erotic thrillers under a new name: P. B. Pearl.
It started with a question I couldn’t shake. What happens when the heat isn’t the whole story, but the thing that makes the danger worse? What if every touch, every look across a crowded room, every secret whispered in the dark could get someone killed?
That question became Undercover in Sequins, the first book in the Operation Looking Glass series. It’s an erotic noir about a cover story that has to hold, a world built on glitter and lies, and the kind of attraction that shows up exactly when you can’t afford it. I wrote it with the lights low and the stakes high, and when I finished, I knew I didn’t want to go back to writing the way I had been.
