Brief Encounters: stories of love, sex & travel - Thryft

Escapades of fleeting, fervent global romantic encounters.

The diversity of voices in "Brief Encounters" is truly fascinating. Each story takes you on a new adventure, making it perfect when you're in the mood for tales of passionate, ephemeral connections that transcend the mundanity of everyday life. They unite the essence of travel with the unpredictability of love, creating moments that are as memorable as they are temporary. If you've ever felt the allure of meeting someone new in a far-off place or experienced the intensity of a holiday romance, this collection will resonate with you.
