[Ravenwood Circle Story 01] • Marriage Counseling From a Stripper Pole

Eva Ravenwood is a desperate woman. She’s desperate in the way a lot of women are, locked in a marriage with a man she loved but now cannot stand. How Eva breaks the confines of her life is a truly surprising story, by turns shocking and arousing, searing and emotional, unexpected and deeply satisfying.

When she and her husband Peter opened The Lancaster, an opulent bar and restaurant facing the beauty of the Chicago shoreline, it felt like a dream come true. But three years into the business, Peter is a lost to his work and Eva is alone. What is the point of working hard to do well when the price is the happiness she and Peter were trying to secure?

Fresh from seeing her friends and neighbors tearing their lives in half with divorce, heartbreak and sorrow, Eva is set on saving her marriage in the most shocking way imaginable.

Through it all she must contend with fantasies which would tear apart Peter and wreck their remaining happiness forever. Those fantasies start with darkly handsome young bartender named Jeremy…

What follows is a decision to deal with a common dilemma with a most uncommon solution. The sizzling effects spread far beyond Eva and Peter, into their circle of friends, employees and acquaintances until many men and women, young and old, find their lives changed from one decision at the center of the Ravenwood Circle.

The world of The Ravenwood Circle

At the beginning, the Ravenwood Circle held just two people; Eva Ravenwood and her husband Peter.

Locked in a mundane marriage, lost in the faded comfort of a suburban backwater, as the years move on Eva begins to wonder if her worst nightmare is coming true. The marriage created to protect and nurture the love she and Peter had for each other is beginning to harden and fray. The cruel end approaches not because of betrayal or distance, but because the snagging hardships, the curdling disappointments, the endless workaday race of modern living is beginning to weigh down and crush the bond they once cherished.

Desperate to break the forces grinding on their marriage, Eva and Peter make a shocking choice to repair their relationship.

With the choice made, Eva and Peter venture farther down mysterious avenues filled with new lovers, old friends, fevered lust and unexpected love, all surrounded by shocking taboos and secrets not fully known even to their own keepers.

As news of their new path, a loving bond to some, a wicked sin to others, radiates out through their community those who know Eva and Peter find their lives transformed. From friends and co-workers to neighbors and new acquaintances, everyone they influence find their lives upended, renewed or shattered by the expanding influence of Eva’s first choice.

Before the story is fully told, people known and unknown to Eva and Peter have felt their influence. Like a secret fever dream jumping from one to another and another, the reach of the Ravenwood Circle ripples far beyond the lives of the two at its center.
