Description
Bestselling poet r.h. Sin takes readers on an all-new journey sure to flush your cheeks. A quiet exploration of desire, seduction, and vulnerability, Soft Hunger is the slow-burn first half of a sensual poetry duology.
Soft Hunger and Wild Surrender exist as two halves, an intimate duology tucked into the same sensual world. Soft Hunger is the slow burn; Wild Surrender is the fire it becomes.
Here in book one, Sin captures the quiet ache before fulfillment—the fantasy and anticipation, the restraint and imagination, the unspoken desire that lives between thought and touch. Each piece explores the moments before the act, when yearning itself becomes the art form.
Delicate yet charged, Soft Hunger awakens the senses and stirs the soul—begin the slow burn.
