Unspeakable Shaking Pleasures

This is a collection of erotic stories set at various historical periods, each featuring women who are stepping into their sexual power in various ways. From a journalist assigned to write a piece about a travelling circus who discovers a powerful awakening with one of the performers, to a woman inhabiting a male identity out at sea and exploring a sexuality that dances across gender lines, to an exacting auctioneer who loves putting those bidding paddles to alternate use, and an inquisitor's daughter who breaks out of piety to tap into her talents as a proto-dominatrix-these are stories that are compelling, sensual and beautifully but accessibly written.
