LA COUREUSE

What happens once the fairytale is over? A racy account of sexuality with no strings attached, LA COUREUSE is without a doubt a novel for our times.

Maïa is beautiful, blonde and insatiable. Living in Berlin as a ‘sexpert' columnist, Maia devotes her life to romantic escapades and thrives on sexual excitement. Her current relationship with Alexander is nearing the crucial two-year mark, and Maïa is itching for something new. She finds this ‘something new' in the form of a young, good-looking Danish businessman called Morten, who she meets at an ‘entrepeneurs' conference in Bali. Ready for a new adventure, Maïa breaks it off with Alexander and moves to Copenhagen, ready to pursue this elusive, challenging and exciting Dane. But the thrill of the chase brings with it manipulation and uncertainty. Cracks soon start to appear in a seemingly perfect sexual liaison: what do you do once you've bedded Prince Charming? Maïa Mazaurette is an author and comic strip writer. She runs sexactu.com, France's leading blog about sex, which attracts 750,000 visitors a month. LA COUREUSE is her fourth novel.
