La ermita de San Lorenzo está situada en un lugar apartado, desierto, en medio de las soledades de la sierra. Tres peregrinos un tanto atípicos se encaminan hacia ella en automóvil. Se trata de dos chicas jóvenes y bellas y un cura que ha aceptado acompañarlas, sin pararse a considerar que, durante la ascensión, podría sufrir el martirio de San Lorenzo. No es la primera vez que van a esa ermita. Un año antes ya lo habían hecho con motivo de una excursión organizada por el instituto privado en el que el sacerdote trabaja como profesor. Una de las chicas, con ocasión del primer viaje, había hecho un voto secreto al santo y ahora deseaba arrodillarse ante su imagen para darle las gracias. Entre los tres se va a crear una urdimbre rosa intensa y sentida, que va a propiciar una evolución inesperada de las relaciones entre dos de ellos.

La partida de caza constituye la segunda entrega de la serie "Urdimbre rosa". En ella, un deseo aplazado por conveniencias sociales encuentra al fin la posibilidad de su realización plena. Sin embargo, durante el transcurso de las sucesivas escenas de seducción, se producen revelaciones sobre el pasado que, en el presente, es preciso asumir para que esa amistad íntima, que siempre ha existido entre los dos protagonistas, pueda subsistir.

Grandes oportunidades es una historia de nuestro tiempo, en el que la sociedad tecnológica, si bien ofrece al individuo vías insospechadas hacia el conocimiento, la técnica, la diversión, el placer, la riqueza, los pingües beneficios económicos, también le obliga a tomar dramáticas decisiones, muchas de las cuales afectan a los dominios de la conciencia y la moral. Las nuevas tecnologías constituyen, en efecto, un caldo de cultivo idóneo para que prosperen, no solamente los genios en múltiples dominios, sino también los corruptores y los corrompidos. Y, a fin de cuentas, ¿dónde está, en nuestros días, la línea que separa el bien del mal, lo moral y lo inmoral, lo que es lícito y lo que no lo puede ser? ¿Hasta qué punto la moral al uso es una rémora para la completa realización, social y económica, del individuo?

Este primer volumen de Urdimbre rosa presenta cinco relatos, editados separadamente, en los que las heroínas afrontan el sexo con simpatía y comprensión, dejando de lado cualquier tipo de tabú. Con tal actitud, van a traer de cabeza a los representantes masculinos que gozan del privilegio de tener que darles la réplica. En todos ellos, un personaje aprende y experimenta, manejando y afrontando los avatares, complicaciones, obstáculos y problemas de la vida adulta, pero siempre lo hacen con entusiasmo y una buena dosis de picardía. Las notables transformaciones que ha experimentado el mundo en nuestros días han propiciado una nueva manera de abordar y tratar elementos delicados de la vida social y de las relaciones humanas. Urdimbre rosa quiere afrontar este tema desde una visión positiva y entusiasta, sin prejuicios, mostrando el erotismo desde un ángulo cordial, divertido, aunque también instructivo; presentando, en ocasiones, un análisis profundo de la naturaleza secreta del deseo humano, lo cual podría escandalizar a quienes prefieran ver únicamente la superficie de los aspectos más abruptos de nuestra sensualidad oculta, que chocan muchas veces con el mundo ideal que muchos quisieran tener e incluso imponer. Los dioses, las más de las veces, suelen quererlo de otro modo.
