The Red trilogy by Tiffany Reisz begins with The Red (2017) and follows Mona Lisa St. James, a young woman who inherits a struggling art gallery. A wealthy stranger offers to buy enough paintings to keep the gallery afloat, but his price is Mona’s submission to increasingly intimate encounters.
The Rose (2019) and The Pearl (2020) continue the story, deepening Mona’s relationship with her mysterious benefactor while exploring themes of art, power, and desire. The series connects famous paintings to each encounter, blending art history with erotic fiction in a way that sets it apart from Reisz’s Original Sinners work.
