About The Book "Falling in love" usually is the exclusive behavior
of youthful adventurers dedicated to the purpose of finding "Miss
or Mr. Right" and not the behavior of middle-aged, confirmed
personalities who have "been there, and done that." Liz Brady and
Harry Bergman are single, attractive and independent
personalities---definitely established in their life styles.
And-they've both "been there, and done that." By chance, they meet
in Bermuda while on vacation, and unpredictably, their libidos
ignite like uncontrollable wildfires. Harry is ecstatic to regain
his faltering manhood and Liz is blithely enjoying a "fling."
Ensconced in a vacation paradise and liberated from their secure
lives in New York, they feel free to indulge in a passionate and
lustful intimacy. Will the lust that connects Liz and Harry bind
them in a meaningful relationship when they return to New York and
resume their diverse life styles? Can Harry love and commit to one
woman? Can Liz love another man as she loved her husband? Empathize
with them as they argue, brawl and struggle to relinquish their
egos and overcome the challenges of their self-satisfied lives in
the hope of realizing a happily-ever-after life together.
Vampire Prince falls in love with raven haired beauty from
afar...Scratch that, this is not your mamma's paranormal romance.
At Grigori University there is a different kind of student body.
The Deviant Class. They are the things that kept you awake in the
night; the dreams that held you close. From the vampires to Dragon
born, Pure bloods and half, there is tension as they are pushed
into the laps of human society. Keegan Teague is a vampire Lord, a
prince amongst his kind and the integration is his project, all was
going well, until he is blindsided by a woman.
Suddenly she had a stone face. She looked directly in his eyes.
"Wait a minute I need to make a call." Rachel walked towards the
phone. She dialed and waited patiently. "C.E.A. Casey speaking,
who's calling?" Machiavelli responded, it's Rachel from New York.
She continued, "I must assign the Presidential case to Officer Jack
Diamond Shuster. He will review all the records, and videos. I'm
concerned that if I take the case that it could very well be viewed
as a conflict of interest. I know that Jack can handle this one."
She smiled and flirted as she looked into Jack's loving eyes.
Rachel appeared to drift away from Jack, as if in deep thought. She
placed the phone down. Then sat in her black leather comfortable
chair behind her desk. Schuster turned as white as a ghost. He took
a deep breath as he lit his cherry cigar. Machiavelli did the same.
Together they shared a cloud of smoke.
The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr (1861) is an
erotic biography of Aaron Burr. Published anonymously decades after
Burr's death, the book incorporates some of the well-known facts
and scandals of his political life-including his arrest for treason
and murder of Alexander Hamilton-with lurid fantasies of his
legendary encounters with women. Comparable, perhaps, to the modern
phenomenon of fan fiction, The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of
Aaron Burr is a risque recreation of an infamous American's
romantic endeavors. "This talented, heroic, and energetic man was
an adorer of the fair sex. From the age of puberty to the day of
his death, (which occurred in his eightieth year,) Aaron Burr was
keenly alive to the fascinations of the fairer portion of creation,
and esteemed their smiles as sunny rays darted from heaven." You
might think you know everything there is to know about Aaron
Burr-disgraced several times over, banished from political life
following his very public downfall, his story is a cautionary tale
of excess and ambition played out on the nation's biggest stage.
For the anonymous author of The Amorous Intrigues and Adventures of
Aaron Burr, the facts-both historical and anecdotal-were simply not
enough. In this erotic examination of Burr's legendary love life,
we find another angle on a man who would be myth, a man shown here
to be somehow less principled, and frequently less clothed, than
the one we thought we knew. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Amorous
Intrigues and Adventures of Aaron Burr is a classic of American
erotic fiction reimagined for modern readers.

Teleny (1893) is an erotic novel published anonymously, yet often
attributed to Irish playwright Oscar Wilde. Considered one of the
first works of fiction to openly depict homosexuality, Teleny is
the story of Camille Des Grieux's sexual awakening, the obstacles
he faces from society as a gay man, and the passionate moments
shared between lovers from all walks of life. "As I listened to his
playing I was spell-bound; yet I could hardly tell whether it was
with the composition, the execution, or the player himself. At the
same time the strangest visions began to float before my eyes.
First I saw the Alhambra in all the luxuriant loveliness of its
Moorish masonry-those sumptuous symphonies of stones and bricks-so
like the flourishes of those quaint Gipsy melodies. Then a
smouldering unknown fire began to kindle itself within my breast."
At a concert with his mother, Camille Des Grieux finds himself
fiercely attracted to the young man on stage, the brilliant
Hungarian pianist Teleny. As their eyes meet for the first time,
Camille knows they are meant to be together. Despite the
restrictions placed on gay men, despite the stories he has heard of
Teleny as an unfaithful lover, Camille introduces himself. Filled
with heated scenes of romance between its insatiable cast of
characters, Teleny is an erotic novel that continues to entertain,
shock, and surprise over a century after it was published. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Teleny is a classic work of Victorian erotica
reimagined for modern readers.

Venus in Furs (1870) is a novella by Austrian writer Leopold von
Sacher-Masoch. Intended as an installment in his Legacy of Cain
cycle, Venus in Furs has far surpassed the author's other works in
cementing his reputation. The work, which inspired Kraft-Ebing to
define "masochism," is notable for its exploration of female
dominance and male sexual submission. The frame narrative begins
with an unnamed man who develops a strong sexual desire after
having a vivid dream. Disturbed, he tells a friend about the
vision, in which he spoke to the goddess Venus while she was
wearing luxuriant furs. In the memoir, which appears to have
written by his friend, a man named Severin von Kusiemski describes
his love affair with Wanda von Dunajew. Moved by a strong desire,
Severin asks to be made Dunajew's slave, and though she denies him
at first, she soon grows to take advantage of her power of the man.
As she grows progressively more violent in her treatment of
Severin, she satisfies his desires while simultaneously learning
more about her own. Severin, who describes himself as a
suprasensualist travels with Dunajew to Florence, where he invents
an identity as a Russian servant and acquiesces to a life of
degradation and servitude. When Dunajew meets a domineering and
attractive man, however, she begins to question her role as
Severin's master, desiring a submissive relationship of her own.
Venus in Furs is a semi-autobiographical work describing
Sacher-Masoch's details through a thin veil of fictional devices,
and remains influential for charting new territories in the
representation of alternative sexualities. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs is a classic of
Austrian literature reimagined for modern readers.
When a shy American teenager travels with her mother to the
mountain village of Vassara, Greece, after the unexpected death of
a family member, she is overcome with grief. As she watches
children chase balls across the town square and old widows ride
atop donkeys to harvest fields of almond and olive trees, the young
girl realizes she has stumbled upon a gateway to a new life.
What starts out as a holiday abroad quickly turns into the
discovery of a magical place, where love and friendship endure
through time and where traditions of an ancient world survive
modern change to bring about an inexplicable miracle. Summer after
summer, she cannot resist returning to her mother's homeland and
the enchanting village that enraptures both her heart and soul.
Nothing-not even a raging mountain wildfire-can keep her away from
the people and place she loves. As she matures from a girl to a
woman, she falls in love for the first time and faces a difficult
choice between the familiarity of home and the enticement of an
uncertain future.
SEASONS OF SUN is a coming-of-age tale that opens the heart to
discovering life and love in unexpected places.
Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749) is an
erotic novel and early work of pornography by English author John
Cleland. Written while Cleland was in prison, the novel was both
successful and controversial, banned from publication but widely
distributed in pirated and heavily edited copies. Fanny Hill: or,
the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure was the subject of numerous
court cases, including a prominent United States Supreme Court
decision in 1966 which found that the book did not violate
obscenity laws. Using extensive euphemism, Cleland's novel is the
story of Frances "Fanny" Hill. Narrated in two letters to a friend
known only as "Madam," the book traces Fanny's early life as an
orphan-turned-prostitute. After the death of her parents from
smallpox, Fanny moves from Lancashire to London to work at a
brothel, where she witnesses and participates in numerous sexual
acts with women and men of all ages. When her lover Charles is sent
abroad, Fanny becomes the mistress of a wealthy merchant who later
abandons her. While earning a living working for wealthy clients in
a high-end brothel, Fanny witnesses wilder and increasingly
dangerous sexual encounters, eventually retiring to a life as the
lover of an older intellectual. Recognized as an early and
controversial pornographic novel, Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a
Woman of Pleasure is important for its groundbreaking depictions of
queer sex and fetish and continues to be read and studied to this
day. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of John Cleland's Fanny Hill: or, the
Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure is a classic of pornographic and
erotic literature reimagined for modern readers.
