Forbidden Passion

Falling in love with your boss is never a good idea. And if you’re a lesbian and she’s straight – that’s double trouble right there.
When Kim and her very attractive, straight, and married boss Sonja find themselves having to share a hotel room at an out-of-town conference, one thing leads to another. But after one night of forbidden passion Sonja almost cruelly tells Kim they’re finished.
Sonja’s emotional and physical distance is a torment to Kim. And aside from the obsessiveness of being in love, there are more questions: What is really going on in Sonja’s marriage? Is Sonja who Kim really thinks she is, after all? And – what are the chances that love will prevail?

Taxi to Paris

Ruth Gogoll’s Taxi to Paris is the best selling lesbian erotic novel in Germany.
“I savored the view of her naked beauty for a moment. I walked up behind her and kissed her between the shoulder blades without kissing her anywhere else. She yelped with surprise. Then I saw her shiver from head to toe, and a relief of tiny dots covered her skin. She laid her head back. Otherwise, she didn’t move. ‘More,’ she whispered.”
In 1993 Ruth Gogoll wrote her first book, “Taxi to Paris”, which has become the most bestselling lesbian erotic romance novel in Germany. In 1993, though, nobody would print it. So Ruth Gogoll founded her own publishing house, el!es, which has become famous for Lesbian Erotic Romance, publishing more than 100 romances in German. Now these thrilling books are available in English.
