The Risk it Takes To Bloom is a collection of 10 sexy stories for the queer, the kinky, the unconventional, and the underrepresented. Among these provocative stories, a newly-open married couple meets an unexpected unicorn at a Pride weekend drag show, an acupuncturist invites a client to her home for a private session of pleasurable pain, and two lesbian co-eds sneak into a library for an erotic literature-fueled tryst.
