Cognac Kisses is desire with intention. It is the slow drag of smoke on the tongue, the warmth of skin remembered long after the lights go out, and the moment a woman realizes she no longer wants to be handled gently by a life that has required her to stay small. These poems move through longing, restraint, hunger, and truth-through bodies that remember before minds allow, and hearts that refuse to remain untouched. This is intimacy that does not ask permission, passion that does not erase self, and desire that sharpens rather than consumes. Beneath the heat lives a reckoning. A shedding. A refusal to remain in quiet survival. This is Chapter Two energy-where softness meets spine, where boundaries make desire burn hotter, and where becoming is as seductive as being wanted.

Cognac Kisses is not just about who you touch. It's about who you become when you stop apologizing for the fire. A collection of smoke, heat, and skin- and the woman bold enough to let herself be seen.
