An amazing literary science fiction superhero sex romp from Australia's genre defying queen of erotica.

Holly wears a ring that says True Love Waits and worries because her boyfriend isn't trying to persuade her otherwise. Then a boy in her English class invites her to join a book club.

Shocked to find herself at what transpires to be a sex book club, Holly is plunged into the classics of erotic literature. She soon becomes fascinated: by the strange new world of Eros, by the increasing power she senses in her own.

But Salter and Nabokov are one thing. When Holly encounters The Infernal Desire Machines of Dr Hoffman, things are set to explode.
