Book Description
With gentleman sleuth Albert Campion on the case and plenty of European intrigue, “Sweet Danger is for the connoisseur of detective fiction” (Sunday Times). Nestled along the Adriatic coastline, the kingdom of Averna has suddenly—and suspiciously—become the hottest property in Europe, and Albert Campion is given the task of recovering the long-missing proofs of ownership. His mission takes him from the French Riviera to the sleepy village of Pontisbright, where he meets the flame-haired Amanda Fitton. Her family claim to be the rightful heirs to the principality, and insist on joining Campion's quest. Unfortunately for them, a criminal financier and his heavies are also on the trail. The clock is ticking for Campion and his cohorts to outwit the thugs and solve the mystery of Averna. “Margery Allingham stands out like a shining light. And she has another quality, not usually associated with crime stories, elegance.” —Agatha Christie “The best of mystery writers.” —The New Yorker

Sweet Danger is a delicious confection and collection of exquisitely explicit stories. This carefully crafted erotica is specifically aimed at inspiring couples to act on their fantasies and long-held forbidden desires.

Fully explored in the 22 superbly written tales of the taboo, the couples in Sweet Danger push the limits of sex, lust, and imagination as far as they can to please each other. In Erica Dumas' "Dress Me Up," a woman in an elegant restaurant is compelled to enter a situation with rough sex and voyeurism, while Thomas S. Roche's "Cocked and Loaded" begins with a day at the shooting range and climaxes back at home with some intense BDSM. This book features couples who want it so bad they can taste it. And they do, over and over again.
