". . . Is sex dangerous? These 20 tales answer this question in many ways: from the use of sex as a weapon to the use of weapons in sex; the human body can be dangerous; thinking about sex can be dangerous; love and the ways of the heart can be dangerous. Following your own desire can be dangerous . . .

" . . . all the stories aren't about society's often misguided mores, standards, and laws, what we can and can't do with our bodies, who we are allowed to be or punished for being. There are many wonderful bad guys (male and female) in these pages as well. There is plenty of the good stuff: pain, torture--mental and physical, murder, and death. There are bodies in car trunks, smoking guns, fists, and the shine of a sharp knife, mistaken identities, gangsters, thugs, and revenge. And, of course, there is sex. But there are also tales of amazing love--both lost and found, strong passionate journeys, and the great and mighty power that lust in all its many faces presents . . . "
