It’s the perfect tool for new couples building a foundation, long-term partners breaking out of a rut, or any two people who believe their love story has deeper chapters yet to be written.

Your next great conversation starts here.
Rediscover the Depths of Your Connection. One Provocative Question at a Time.
Is your relationship stuck in a routine? Has the easy, flowing conversation of your early days been replaced by the logistics of daily life? Do you long to connect with your partner on a level that goes beyond the surface, to explore the hidden landscapes of desire, trust, and profound intimacy?
The Intimacy Gambit is not just another book; it’s an experience. It’s a carefully crafted journey for couples who believe their love story is far from over. With 52 profound and beautifully written chapters, this book transforms your relationship into a playground for the soul, a sanctuary for vulnerability, and a laboratory for love.
Forget simple “yes” or “no” questions. The Intimacy Gambit delves into the heart of what makes a connection truly thrive. Each chapter presents a core dilemma, a “Would You Rather” scenario that is less about finding a right answer and more about uncovering the hidden truths within yourself and your partner.
-
Explore the Architecture of Your Desire: Would you rather be the comforting, steady Anchor or the inspiring, adventurous Sail? Are you the fiery, passionate Blaze or the warm, enduring Hearth?
-
Navigate the Geography of Vulnerability: Would you rather share an old, healed scar from your past, or a fresh, aching wound you’re currently nursing? Would you rather be fully seen in the bright light of truth, or guided by touch and sound in the dark?
-
Understand Your Unique Dynamic: Are you the Map, craving a shared plan for the future, or the Compass, trusting your bond to guide you through any unknown? Is your love a Verb, built daily through action, or a Noun, a constant and unwavering state of being?
This book is designed to be played together. It’s a catalyst for conversations that matter. You will laugh, you might blush, and you will almost certainly see the person you love in a stunning new light. It’s a guide for:
-
New Couples building a foundation of deep understanding from the start.
-
Long-Term Partners seeking to reignite the spark of curiosity and break out of comfortable ruts.
-
Engaged or Newlywed Couples wanting to solidify their bond before the big day and beyond.
-
Any two people courageous enough to be more known, more seen, and more deeply loved.
The Intimacy Gambit is more than a game; it’s an investment in your shared universe. It’s the key to unlocking the next, most exciting chapter of your relationship. Don’t just share a life—share a soul.
Open the book. Start the conversation. Take the gamble.

Add to cartLiam is the perfect golden boy. Caleb is the all-star baseball captain. Their love is the town’s best-kept secret—and its greatest threat.
In Oak Creek, a town where reputation is everything, Liam Hayes and Caleb Miller have mastered the art of performance. Liam, the school president, uses his charm and a promise of piety to hide his truth. Caleb, the team captain, uses his athletic prowess to mask his own. Their only real moments are stolen—in a secret treehouse, in whispered notes, in the life-saving touch of a hand in the dark.

Exposed and facing ultimatums from their horrified families—including being sent to conversion therapy—Liam and Caleb are forced to make an impossible choice.
Do they surrender, allowing their love to be erased by those who claim to care for them? Or do they risk everything—home, safety, and their very future—to run away together and fight for the life they’ve only ever dreamed of?
The Secret Chord is a gripping, heart-wrenching, and ultimately hopeful story of forbidden first love, devastating sacrifice, and the breathtaking courage it takes to choose your own truth. This 54-chapter epic is a testament to the resilience of young love against overwhelming odds.

Review:
“My partner and I are both creative types, and we fell in love with the poetic language of this book. It’s not a dry manual; it’s a series of beautifully written essays that just happen to end with the most fascinating conversation prompts. Chapters like “The Echo and The Surprise” and “The Clock and The Compass” are almost philosophical, and they sparked discussions that lasted for hours. This book respects the intelligence and complexity of a relationship. It doesn’t give you answers; it helps you discover your own. It has deepened our connection in ways I didn’t think were possible, making us feel like we are active co-authors of our love story, not just passengers. A truly unique and beautiful book.”

Review:
“As a relationship therapist, I am always looking for thoughtful resources to recommend to my clients. “The Intimacy Gambit” is now at the top of my list. The chapters are brilliantly constructed to bypass superficial answers and tap into core attachment styles, love languages, and personal values. The “Landscape of Choice A / Choice B” format is non-confrontational and allows each partner to see the validity in the other’s perspective. I’ve seen clients have breakthroughs simply from engaging with a single chapter. It’s a catalyst for empathy and deep, non-defensive communication. This book is a significant contribution to the field of relationship enrichment. I highly recommend it for any couple, whether they are in crisis or simply want to fortify an already healthy bond.”

Review:
“We got this book as an engagement gift and have been working through it before our wedding. WOW. We thought we knew everything about each other, but “The Intimacy Gambit” has revealed so many new layers. The questions force you to be vulnerable in a safe and structured way. Discussing chapters like “The Anchor and The Sail” helped us understand our inherent approaches to stress and life, which has already improved our communication during wedding planning! It’s setting us up with such a strong foundation of understanding and empathy. This isn’t just a book; it’s a pre-marital counseling session you do in your pajamas with a glass of wine. It’s been invaluable. Thank you for creating such a thoughtful and powerful tool for couples.”
