#6: Couples Massage

Danny and Meredith have gone on a beach vacation for their anniversary, hoping to rekindle a bit of the spark that has dimmed in their marriage over the years. An innocent mix-up leads Danny to explore cravings that he has kept hidden from himself.

But is he willing to risk everything to scratch this new itch?

#5: Marjory’s Lesson

Penelope thought she was done with Magian Corp, the soulless conglomerate that bought out her beloved Well Thumbed bookshop and turned it into Beryl & Duke, a “distributor of narrative entertainments” driven by the Artsatic algorithm. But one night, as she’s leaving her new bookish lair at Lucky Fierce Vibes, her old nemesis makes a surprise appearance …

Marjory was glad to be rid of Penelope, the petulant, decadent, thoroughly wicked woman who had curated the erotica section of Well Thumbed before Magian Corp transformed that dingy little dungeon into the bright and shining Beryl & Duke. But somehow Penelope poisoned Artsatic’s formulas, making the machine dream up filthy fantasies, before her disgraceful departure. And she’s poisoned Marjory’s mind as well …

#4: Insatiable Ingrid’s Second Shift

Ingrid Igelstöm returns to Tender Mercy Hospital for her second night working with Nurse Nina and the controversial (and delicious …) Dr. Tikelmeister. She thinks she knows what to expect after her first shift, and hopes that there may be call for her to assist in a Code Red situation.

Surprises await, though, as soon as she reaches the nurse’s station on Ward X, beginning with a shocking change in uniform, followed by a set of patients suffering from a very different malady than she has ever encountered before.

Can she bring relief to these new patients? And what further treatments await her at the hands of the unorthodox doctor?

#3: Insatiable Ingrid’s First Shift

Ward X is up all night …

Ingrid Igelstöm is a little nervous about her first overnight shift at a hospital in an American city – it’s so different from the bucolic world of rural Sweden she’s left behind! Luckily Nina is there to show her the ropes, especially when dealing with Doctor Tikelmeister’s special patients on Ward X.

Over the course of the night, Ingrid discovers that she, too, has a condition that Doctor Tikelmeister is uniquely qualified to treat …

#2: Insatiable Ingrid’s Fourth Shift

Can Ingrid’s body — and her mind — withstand the treatments Dr. Lipintung and Dr. Tikelmeister have prepared for her?

Ingrid’s third shift on Ward X left her questioning everything about the path that had led her from her bucolic home in Mälarby. She is no longer the naive if willing young nurse she was when she first came to Tender Mercy Hospital; she has seen and experienced delights and debaucheries she could never have imagined.

She expects to have a quiet day before her next shift, recovering from the strenuous events of the previous night, when a mysterious visitor arrives at her door: Victor Nomikos, a man with his own dark secrets, has come to bring her back to Ward X for a special study designed by Dr. Lipintung.

What will this study reveal about Ward X, about Dr. Lipintung, and about Ingrid’s own most secret desires?

#1: Insatiable Ingrid’s Third Shift

Dr. Lipintung has an experimental therapy for Ingrid’s condition …

Ingrid Igelstöm is back for her third night on Ward X, tending to Dr. Tikelmeister’s patients with Nurse Nina while receiving special treatment for her own condition. And Dr. Tikelmeister’s colleague, Dr. Lipintung, has a prescription of her own for Ingrid: a device intended to balance Ingrid’s responses to the situations she encounters on Ward X, while also gathering critical data that will surely prove essential for the doctor’s continued treatments.

Ingrid has to balance her own needs and desires with those of her patients, while continuing to perfect the techniques and treatments Nina demonstrates throughout the night. Working on Ward X brings special challenges and rewards, and Ingrid is eager to absorb all of the lessons on offer.
