She's Hannah by day. Belle by night. But when the worlds blur, so does the truth about love." Hannah Baxter lives a double life. To her friends, she's quiet, clever, and low-key - the girl-next-door with a sharp wit and a taste for simple pleasures. But by night, she becomes Belle: one of London's most exclusive and elusive high-end escorts, known for her sensual poise, provocative allure, and flawless discretion. No one in Hannah's ordinary world knows about Belle... especially not Ben, her best friend since uni - kind, nerdy, and quietly in love with her. But when a night of intimacy turns into something more, Ben stumbles upon Belle's secret life - the lingerie, the toys, the high heels, the secrecy - and everything shatters. Heartbroken and confused, Ben seeks answers the only way he can: by booking a night with Belle himself. The encounter is explosive - raw, vulnerable, and electric - and neither of them walks away unscathed. As Hannah continues to balance love, lust, and luxury, her life spirals into a tangled web of desire and identity. She begins a steamy, high-stakes relationship with Christopher, a charming, wealthy client who falls in love with Belle... never knowing about Hannah. But when Ben re-emerges - hurt, possessive, and changed - the triangle fractures into something far messier, more dangerous, and emotionally consuming than she ever expected. Can you ever truly be loved if half of you lives in the shadows? "Second Skin: For Your Eyes Only" is a provocative, heartbreaking story of duality, desire, and the cost of secrets. A journey through sex and shame, identity and intimacy, this novel asks: what if the only person who could love all of you... had to watch you disappear to survive?
