These stories were born out of an almost therapeutic compulsion. I felt that romantic encounters that are outside of norms condoned by society possess an extra erotic charge, and I wanted to write about the mysterious connection between sex and our deepest emotions.

True love can spring out of nowhere, without warning and without following any rules. If it is pure, even if it appears for a very short while, its power can point us toward freedom or a different outlook on life.

It is my greatest hope that these simple tales of love will generate in the reader more lust for life than just plain lust.
