Monk

Raised within the discipline of a secluded temple, Zai has devoted his life to control, ritual, and restraint. But when he is chosen to cross the mountain and enter the sacred Convergence, he is drawn into a world where spirituality and desire can no longer be kept apart.
As intimacy deepens and the rituals of the temple begin to open into something far more human, Zai is forced to confront longing, shame, surrender, and the unsettling mystery of what it means to belong to his own life.
Sensual, searching, and atmospheric, MONK is an erotic literary novel about the body, the sacred, and the difficult freedom of becoming fully alive.
