The bestselling lesbian erotica series in America! Capturing the hottest, freshest lesbian erotica of the year."For me, the best erotic stories closely resemble the people who make my skin flush hot pink and send my head into overdrive. They're fiercely intelligent, confident and intricate. They can sweep me off my feet or catch me off guard. They are tender and nasty and just a little bit dangerous. They are not always what you expect them to be." —Tristan Taormino, series editor
