Excerpt from the book
“There are no stars in Naples at night. Only broken street lamps and windows that shut too quickly.
I was there, leaning on the fourth-floor balcony, wearing a dress that smelled of sweat and whiskey, when the car arrived.
A dark sedan, slow as a promise...”
Why read it
- Because this is sex that doesn’t apologize.
- Because every story is a punch to the chest and a bite to the skin.

“This isn’t a love story. It’s a sentence. And you’ll love it.”

Extended Description
NOIR. EROTICISM. BETRAYAL. LOVE THAT HURTS.
Some nights smell like sex, blood, and rotten whiskey.
Some women undress with a gun in their garter.
Some men fuck you like it's the last thing they'll ever do.
And then there's you — unsure whether to read these pages or lick them.
Hearts of Asphalt is an erotic noir short story collection, illustrated in bold pulp comic style. Filthy like an alley at 3 a.m., beautiful like a kiss with the taste of revenge.
Inside you'll find women who command with a glance and break hearts with a blade. Mob bosses with guns in their drawers and urges they can't control. Hot betrayals, cold plans, and sex consumed between tears and lead.
Every story comes with exclusive black-and-white illustrations, Sin City style — where every curve is a sin, and every shadow hides a weapon.
Warning for the faint-hearted: This book isn’t gentle. It doesn’t make love — it fucks your soul. It doesn’t ask “may I?” — it just takes.
Contains rough sex, explicit language, and explosive twists.
This isn’t a love story. It’s a sentence. And you’ll love it.
Want to know what happens next? Want to see how far a woman can go when she’s lost everything — except desire?
Then buy it. Inside, you’ll find nine stories that are dirty, intense, and deadly.
Because in this book, no one survives. And maybe… neither will you.
