We were on the front lines in that world, the mafia world.
There was nothing soft or glamorous about it.
Who you were before no longer mattered. Names didn’t exist. 

I joined anyway. I had no other choice because they took my sister. Join. Find her. Try and make it out alive. 

Then he won me in a poker game. 
I hated him instantly, thinking he was like my other bosses before him.
He wasn’t. He was worse. 

He wasn’t just cold. He was dead inside. It didn’t matter that he was gorgeous.
He was the most lethal thing I’d ever met. 

He was also the only person who could keep me alive, if he didn’t kill me himself.

Authors Mara White and Suanne Laqueur challenged a diverse and eclectic group, from international best-sellers to debut authors, to titillate on their own terms, but in 3,000 words or less. The result is a sizzling collection of flash fiction stories, dedicated to both the writers and readers who struggled with creativity in the last year.

It comes as no surprise that readers everywhere are eager to have their senses teased by erotic fiction, as imagined by people whose experiences, identities and persuasions may—or may not—mirror their own. Such stories arouse, satisfy and offer intimate glimpses into different relationships and provocative couplings. The twist of Flesh Fiction is to do it in under three pages.

Whether you’re reading on the run, or settled in for hours, Flesh Fiction has plenty of time. Anything goes in this eclectic, inclusive compendium, and it’s the wish of White and Laqueur that the small love bites will bring joy, whet appetites and inspire new visions.
