Blurb: “International acclaim for The Motorcycle
When nineteen-year-old Rebecca Nul, newly married to a schoolmaster twice her age, receives as a wedding present from her lover a powerful Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the stage is set for one of the strangest erotic triangles in modern fiction.
Dressed in her supple black-leather suit, beneath which she wears nothing but a pair of flesh-colored panties, Rebecca often takes off early in the morning on her gleaming motorcycle to meet her lover, the magnetic, godlike Daniel Lionart, across the border in Germany.
As she speeds toward him, she recalls her previous sexual encounters with Lionart-the time he drove her up into the woods above Geneva and, in silent, almost ritualistic fashion, raped her in the snow, and then repeated the act in a sinister hotel on their way home; the time he made a rendezvous at a spa, and there flogged her with roses before he possessed her.
At first passive, Rebecca's desire has been awakened and by mid-May-the point at which the novel opens-she has developed a real hunger for her brutal and masterful lover.”
