GOSPEL- The Lust Cannon: Book One
The book:
What happens when heartbreak meets high finance, crime and hedonism?
Enrique Ruiz is a man transformed, from jilted groom to unapologetic libertine. After being abandoned a week before his wedding, he trades emotional vulnerability for Montecristos, single malts, and a ledger-like approach to pleasure. Feelings? Unprofitable. Attachments? Risky. Women? Predators. His new philosophy is simple: enjoy the good life, never get caught, and always balance the books of desire.
9 to 5, he’s a successful accountant in the seaside town of Vigo. By weekend, he’s a willing prey in the world’s most decadent hunting ground: Monte Carlo; where the rich play dirty and the beautiful play for keeps. But when Enrique is mistaken for a high-end escort, he’s swept into the glittering chaos of the ultra-elite, where sex, power, and identity blur in ways no spreadsheet can explain.
Outrageous, unfiltered, and layered with biting wit, Gospel is not porn, it’s literature with a whip in its hand and a cigar between its teeth. Beneath the raw language and explicit scenes lies a sharp critique of modern love, masculinity, and the transactional nature of intimacy. Every expletive is earned. Every encounter is a lesson. Every chapter dares you to read deeper.
The author: Damien Cross is a novelist who thrives at the intersection of sensuality, intrigue, and psychological depth. His work blends the cadence of music with the architecture of literary thriller, creating narratives that are both commercially compelling and artistically daring. Unafraid to confront desire and taboo, Cross uses explicit encounters not as ornament but as revelation, exposing the fractures of power, intimacy, and human ambition. With The Lust Cannon series, he establishes himself as a fearless voice in contemporary adult literature. A writer who challenges, seduces, and refuses to be ignored.
Warning: Contains graphic depictions of adult acts, philosophical musings, and the occasional titty-fuck. Contraceptives assumed. Condoms packed. Culture required.
