The Poison Eater

'Traitor' or 'revolutionary.' These labels are two sides of the same coin, just as 'hero' or 'villain' depends on the point of view of the person telling the story. These are obvious concepts when spelled out in clear cut settings. Because of this, how one goes about subverting the norm (as a traitor or revolutionary) is based on what the norm is. What is normal in one society can be, and often is, taboo in another society. This allows tales of subversion to be subtle, blatant, personal, communal, and endless in variation. - From the Foreword by Jennifer Brozek

Science Fiction & Fantasy Tales of Challenging the Norm

But Susie’s methods of domination go way beyond the norm, and as far as she’s concerned, his most important asset is that he’s unlikely to be missed... Maid To Misbehave by Stephen Albrow Madeleine doesn’t normally visit sex shops, but she can’t resist the French maid’s outfit she sees in the window.

Rough Erotic Fiction

Gritty

Kallie Peters has finally made her dream come true - she's turned the family farm into Safe Haven, an animal sanctuary. But financial woes are pressing in on her, and she's worried that the only way to keep the farm is to allow her rich ex-boyfriend back into her life. When a sexy stranger shows up in her driveway with a wiggling puppy in his arms, she knows it's her chance for a hot rendezvous before she gives up her freedom. The sex is hot, wild and passionate - the perfect interim before returning to the pressures of real life - but something else is happening between them. Can they find a way to save their dreams, their passions and their hearts, or will they have to say goodbye to all they've come to love?

Safe Haven

Dangerous women aren’t always the ones who carry guns and take down the bad guys. Sometimes, the most dangerous women are the ones we don’t even notice -- the sultry siren crooning in a smoky bar, the innocent young girl twirling in her summer dress, the soft-shoed nurse who helps the comatose. In this collection, award-winning author Shanna Germain gathers seven of her darkest, lushest fantasy and horror stories about strong, smart women who know that danger is a matter of scale -- and of which side you happen to be standing on.

The Lure of Dangerous Women

"Only the truest romantics are willing to explore their deepest desires. Imagine finding a partner who is just as ravenous and uninhibited as you are. Bound by Lust, curated by libidinous leximaven Shanna Germain, is a heady combination of sweet and sexy, dirty and romantic"--P. [4] of cover.

Romantic Stories of Submission and Sensuality

Bound by Lust

The couples range from newly blossoming relationships, long-time loves and reunited flames, proving that romance can be a little rough and still have VERY happy endings! The stories in Bound By Lust are sweetly romantic, but they're also kinky, dirty and fill of delicious debauchery. They’ll make your libido soar along with your heart, showing once and for all that kink and love are not separate entities. They are bound together by the finest ropes, by the tightest knots, by the lustful beatings of loving hands—and loving hearts.
