Safe: a collection of erotic stories
In this collection of ten erotic stories, attraction, heat, and connection serve as catalysts to take characters to places of climax, revelation, transformation, and abiding – sometimes all at once. From hypnotizing dreams to life-changing tragedies to moving on after the end of a relationship, Safe explores the power of sexuality in its myriad forms and manifestations. “To Make It That Way” shows older woman Cole taking young Zack on a seductive and wild ride, exposing him not only to a considerable sexual education but to more subtle life lessons as well. “Power Over Power” channels the intense energy of a martial arts session, while “Hers to Keep” offers Leslie a surprising lesson in so-called “casual” sex. Polyamory, masturbation, and BDSM all make appearances in Safe, as do scorching vanilla sex and budding romance. These stories reveal how eros has the power to bring us back to ourselves, propelling us ever deeper into the journeys of both sex and life.

Beyond expectations, Emerald has me as a dedicated reader.
This collection of stories takes us on trips into our dreams, our hopes, our hottest desires. Sometimes just one, sometimes all together. The authors melding of characters that you connect with so quickly and justly makes you want to jump into the pages yourself and BE a character. Her imagery is very vivid, and the emotion that is poured into these stories is wild and unforgiving. You will remember something about her stories, if only the want to be there.
