Overview
This three-book paperback collection brings together two of the most trusted voices in modern relationship psychology. Esther Perel's State of Affairs and Mating in Captivity unpack infidelity and long-term desire with clinical insight and warmth, while Emily Nagoski's Come As You Are reframes the science of female sexuality with clear, evidence-based guidance. Together they form an honest library for anyone curious about love, intimacy, and connection in real relationships, whether newly dating, long-married, or hoping to understand desire and commitment with more nuance and less judgment.

About the Books
This collection pairs Esther Perel's therapeutic authority with Emily Nagoski's research-driven approach to sexuality, moving from crisis to connection to self-understanding. State of Affairs, a New York Times bestseller, challenges the assumption that infidelity is simply a moral failure, instead treating it as a window into unmet emotional needs and offering a compassionate framework for healing. Mating in Captivity, described by its publisher as an international bestseller, turns to couples who are not in crisis but simply losing heat, examining why security and eroticism pull against each other in a committed partnership. Come As You Are closes the set with Emily Nagoski's research-backed explanation of how female arousal and desire actually work, dismantling popular myths about "normal" sexuality. Read together, the three titles create a natural arc: understanding what goes wrong, keeping intimacy alive over time, and building a kinder relationship with one's own body. The tone throughout is empathetic rather than clinical, grounded in real client stories and current research, making it immediately useful for therapists, book clubs, and couples alike.
