In Mouth to Mouth, a chance meeting in a JFK Airport lounge reignites the memory of a lifesaving moment on a beach—one that irrevocably binds Jeff Cook to celebrated art dealer Francis Arsenault. What begins as a gesture of gratitude quickly spirals into a high-stakes exploration of power, influence, and identity.
As Jeff navigates glamorous galleries and exclusive circles, Francis beckons him into a world where taste and knowledge become currency. Through private viewings and whispered recommendations, the young man gains entry to an elite realm. Yet beneath the veneer of success lies a maze of manipulation, obsession, and self-delusion.
Slyly suspenseful and atmospheric, this novel masterfully blurs the line between salvation and exploitation. With prose that crackles at every turn, it forces both characters—and readers—to question who truly holds the power, and how far we will go to entangle ourselves in another's fate.
