Are you fit to be tied? In Love at First Sting, editor and bondage aficionado Alison Tyler presents a cornucopia of kink — 22 tantalizing, triple-X tales, rich in variety and saucy details of lovers put in their place — and held there firmly. A cross-dresser waiting in high heels at a rest stop attracts the cruel attentions of a hunky cop. A woman obeys her boyfriend by kissing their flirtatious waiter — but will she earn a reward or a punishment? A seductive professional assassin submits to discipline for failing to kill a man who was just too damn good in bed. Whether you dream of surrendering to a lover or of taking control, explore the dark fantasies and heart-pounding suspense of erotic bondage in Love at First Sting.

"Alison Tyler's new volume is a refreshing contrast to some recent anthologies that focus on the more recreational aspects of spanking, bondage, and other perverse sports. The stories in this collection...concern themselves with the darker side of dominance and submission. Temptation, obsession, guilt, fear, ecstasy and revelation — these stories crackle with serious emotion." —Erotica Revealed

“Ah, the sheer joy of being tied down and having all manner of deliciously appalling things done to you! That’s the feeling which the contributors to this anthology of bondage-based short stories are striving to recreate- and when they do, the results are a treat for fans of fettered pleasures” —Forum UK
