E.M. Gayle is the contemporary romance pen name for NY Times bestselling paranormal romance author Eliza Gayle, who finds it impossible to stick with one genre when there are so many more to explore.

As E.M. she writes steamy, breath taking and often intense emotional romance. She is best known for her Purgatory Club series, which is inspired by a goth and fetish show she used to attend when living in North Carolina.

When not writing, she spends most of her free time reading, watching way too much HGTV, riding her Vespa, or sitting in a dark theater watching the latest action packed or funny movies.

It is free, the first novel of my main series and available at all major retailers. While each book in the Purgatory Masters is a standalone romance, they are interconnected and I would recommend they be read in order.
.
Now the long answer 😈: There are lots of places you could start. But if you are an absolute series purist and want to begin where I began then you need to start with Roped (this one is also free). It all began with the Purgatory Club series, which is a series of stand alone novellas inspired by a fetish and goth show I used to attend in Charlotte, NC. You don't have to read these first, but the characters in this novella series do make appearances in later books.
.
Prefer to start with a standalone and like menage? Then I would recommend Submissive Beauty. This is my most popular book.
.
Want to read the latest? Then start with the What Alex Wants duet. They are both available now and you don't need to read any other books before these.
.
And definitely not to be forgotten is the Pleasure Playground series. While they are set in the same city as all of the Purgatory books and Submissive Beauty, they are their own stories. Start with Play With Me. Every time I think about those books I seriously want to go and write more of them. I love them that much. And did I mention they are dirty AF?(less)
