Love Me Tender

Devotion. Desire. Destruction.
Steamy, strange, and deliciously dark, Love Me Tender will leave you flushed, furious, and flipping pages. Because sometimes love isn’t soft — it’s a sharp edge disguised as devotion.

In this sharp and seductive collection, four fearless authors — Mabel Mnensa, Pamela Newham, Yewande Omotoso, and Stella Douglas — unearth the twisted, tender, and sometimes toxic forms that love can take. From lonely hotel rooms and digital desire to PI stakeouts and android lovers, these stories ask what happens when passion overrides reason — and when heartbreak rewires the soul.
