In Seduce Me, Michele Slung’s first erotic anthology since her acclaimed collections Slow Hand and Fever, a dozen tantalizing stories explore the act of seduction in its infinite manifestations. Each tale—written expressly for this collection—plays with the question: What is it to be seduced?

Meet Rebecca, whose impulsive visit to a piercing parlor turns unexpectedly hot; Martin, a butler whose upper lip isn’t all that’s stiff; Plum, a Japanese lady of pleasure with a mischievous yen for after-hours adventure; Karl, a young husband with a plan for his domestic-goddess wife; and Drew, literally led down the garden path by a new neighbor. These are just a few of the lovers whose moments of seduction (and ecstasy) will leave you craving more.
