The Misconception of Pleasure

Love means different things to different people—but for Betty Ann Jones, it's sacred. A devoted mother of twin sons and a self-declared born-again virgin, Betty has sworn off casual flings in search of something deeper: her soulmate. Not a hookup, not a warm body—but a man worthy of her heart, her spirit, and her body.

Dr. Perry Ray couldn’t be more different. A proud, confident stud with a magnetic charm and a successful medical career, Perry has never struggled to attract women—but none have ever inspired her to settle down. Love was optional; freedom was the goal.

Two worlds collide in the most tragic of circumstances when Betty survives a brutal assault on her birthday—an act that shatters her trust but not her will to heal. Enter Perry Ray, her assigned doctor during recovery, who helps Betty piece her life back together—and unexpectedly steals her heart.

Their connection is instant, electric, and undeniable. For the first time in her life, Perry falls—hard. And Betty, against all odds, finds herself opening up in ways she never imagined possible. But when the truth about Perry’s gender identity surfaces, Betty’s fairytale crashes into reality. The “man” of her dreams is a woman. And Betty is left questioning everything she thought she knew about love, pleasure, and herself.

Now Perry must do something she’s never done before—chase love. Fight for it. Prove that gender does not define devotion, and that sometimes, fate delivers exactly what you need… even if it’s not what you expected.

The Misconception of Pleasure is a bold, emotional love story about healing, identity, and the power of unexpected connections. It challenges assumptions and explores the real meaning of pleasure—not in the body, but in the soul.
