Description: Woken by Her is a gritty reverse age gap novel told from his side. He’s young, drifting through late nights and easy wins, until an older woman from his past pulls him into a secret affair. The rush of their relationship is real, and so is the way it strips him back. What begins as raw heat and passion turns into an unexpected journey of self-discovery.

He learns to listen rather than posture, to touch without taking, and to really see the person in front of him, not just the idea of them. But when the glow begins to thin, he has to face a choice between the pull of short-term gratification and a future he can stand in.

Set against the mundane reality of life, with work shifts, loud nights out and family pressure never far from view, this story goes inside a mind that rarely speaks. It follows a boy who thinks he knows what he wants until he begins to understand himself. Step inside a raw and honest account of desire that tests its holder with a single choice: to step into something real or keep playing at the surface.
