Love & Passion

Five of Good Housekeeping 's favourite authors were asked to write short stories that would fire the emotions of grown-up women. Best-selling authors Elizabeth Buchan, Amanda Craig, Sarah Challis, Isla Dewar and Anna Maxted rose to the challenge to produce powerful tales of love and romance that prove sex and passion are not just confined to the young.

Each story involves the reader right from the start, leaving memorable characters long after the story has been read. The sex in the stories is often hinted at, the excitement and tension based on anticipation rather that the actual act, and where the sex is more explicit, it is beautifully and tenderly described.
