    About this ebook

    Diverse, dark and with a sprinkle of wicked, this collection presents seven short stories themed around the deadly sins: Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, Envy and Wrath. Set in contemporary London, each story centres around ordinary people tempted by the darker side of human nature.

    A food writer is offered the gastronomical opportunity of a lifetime. Will it be all he ever dreamed of? What happens when a woman's uncontrollable temper explodes at the wrong moment? Is online dating really the best option for seeking sexual satisfaction?

    Giving in to basic human vices can sometimes prove to be a fatal mistake.
