A British super spy, a sexy vampire slayer, an aging crime boss, and others discover just how many boundaries they're willing to cross in the name of love.and lust. In "A Pebble for Papa," a Mafioso gets a lesson in betrayal and redemption. "A Woman's Touch" features a Civil War femme fatal. "Eastside, Westside" is a sexy re-take on Nick and Nora from The Thin Man. "Stakeout on Rush Street" takes place in the Buffy universe (sans Buffy). Graveyard Shift" teaches a room-service Romeo that women are not the "weaker" sex. In "Sand on the Beach" and "Lie Beside Me," the "real" James Bond fights old foes while traversing the far-more terrifying pitfalls of being a newly-married man. "I Had Bigfoot's Baby!" is a send-up of urban legends and tabloid papers featuring Hellboy. And if Nabokov had written "Double Indemnity, you'd get "My Lolita Complex," the title story.
