Tea with Maureen is a modern love story with enough twists and turns to keep you enthralled from its first sentence to its very last.

The plot is as follows.

Michael is a young American scholar who resides in a picturesque English town. A rising star in the academic community, he enjoys the peace, stillness, and harmony of his well-established scholarly life. During a late afternoon stroll he happens upon an out-of-the way used book store, where he meets Maureen, the voluptuous middle-aged owner of the shop. They are instantly attracted to one another and, over afternoon tea, discuss literature and philosophy whilst engaging in a mild flirtation.

Their afternoon teas create greater intimacy between them. A single tryst leads to a series of tumultuous sexual liaisons. But is it a spontaneous love affair or is it seduction? Maureen has a past and a compulsion that makes their vigorous romance more than mere accident. While she is transformed by the affair and pursues it forcefully, the reality of her life is not what it at first appears to be.

Maureen's deceptions threaten to shatter the placidity of Michael's life. He finds himself overwhelmed and conflicted by her sensuality and the risky schemes she devises to satisfy it. Their discrete arrangement is pushed to the edge of folly until a surprise discovery forces him to confront her about the secrets she's been keeping from him.

From the cobble-stone streets of Yorkshire to the back alleys of London, Michael struggles to answer questions about this mysterious woman. Riddle follows upon riddle as he is drawn deeper and deeper into Maureen's world. He is finally brought face to face with the power of desire and obsession. He is also compelled to deal with his own past and his own deeply held cravings, as well as the fears and uncertainties that are part of balancing sexual desire and career ambition. His intellect, his feeling, his physical courage are all tested as he tries to contain the unleashed storminess of Maureen's inner life. In the end, he comes to understand the value of love and authenticity in achieving happiness and satisfaction.

Tea with Maureen is part psychological drama, part erotic thriller, and part novella of ideas. It weaves together elements of intrigue, introspection, psychoanalysis, philosophy, history, and sexual realism into a story of intimacy and friendship among individuals who share a passion for art, intellect, and sensual pleasure.
