Material Desire is a seductive contemporary workplace romance about James Marsh, a 24 year old auditor whose confident, playboy image hides his inexperience, and Selma Randall, a 30 year old finance manager with elegance, control, and a dangerous pull he cannot resist.
What begins as charged eye contact across a boardroom turns into secret messages, stolen kisses, and a forbidden affair neither of them can keep casual. But when desire exposes James's immaturity, guilt, jealousy, and fear of commitment, Selma steps back, forcing him to decide what kind of man he wants to become.
Set against Sydney offices, late night apartments, beaches, and quiet city dates, Material Desire is a story of lust, secrecy, emotional growth, and the difficult choice to turn forbidden attraction into something real.
