A bitter divorce becomes the final straw in Andrew Kincaid's
already troubled life. With his wife and three children gone and
his self-esteem in ruins, the forty-one-year-old former sailor
burns all his bridges, quits his New York City job, and outfits a
thirty-eight-foot yacht for a daring solo voyage.
Once on his boat, the Picaroon, he spurns the easy route through
the Panama Canal, and instead, chooses a hazardous westward
rounding of the infamous Cape Horn, then a trans-Pacific passage to
Sydney, Australia, via Darwin's Galapagos, and the islands of
French Polynesia. Mountainous seas, hidden shoals, and dangerous
coral reefs challenge Kincaid's sailing and navigation skills on
his 20,000-mile odyssey.
However, a single shore leave in South America changes his life
in ways he could never have imagined. There he meets the boisterous
and hot-tempered ex-pat Australian, Kate Devonshire, a fugitive
running from a dark past; the two begin a sexually charged romance
in Rio de Janeiro. Eventually, Kincaid travels deep into the
parched barrens of the Queensland outback to the scene of a
psychopathic rampage that shocked a nation.

Seduction can be a useful tool for giving pleasure and to secure
love, money and power. In the wrong hands, especially those of a
young woman who has not yet learned to use the power of seductions
with purpose, this gift can cause a great amount of pain and
heartache.Ayana Cherry soon learns that her new home in a quiet
wealthy suburb of Indianapolis has just as many opportunities for
sexual intrigue and deception as the raw streets of Los Angeles.
She never imagined that she would be exposed to a secret world of
strippers and pimps, and the lies, infidelity, and voyeuristic lust
of the family and otherwise respectable neighbors she'd at first
believed were simple squares living the good life. Realizing her
natural powers of seduction in this place of sexual decorum could
cost her more than she can handle.
Baby girl is willing to do anything to hear those three words I
love you. She realizes the one who is telling her they love her is
the one killing her softly.
Cecilia doesn't know who to trust her (bff ) best friend forever
or her man.
Camilla wants a man to love her wholeheartedly. She wants the
passion, as well as the respect but with Gus she gets a wolf dress
up in sheep clothes.
"You Nasty Dog" focuses on the physical and mental abuse of
Camilla, Cecilia, and Baby Girl by those they have trusted with
their heart, body, and mind. All three of the women are different
from one another and do not know each other at all but in many ways
they are connected by betrayal. Once these women find the strength
to fight back it becomes a deadly vengeance.
Manik Mudigonda was born into (and subsequently rejected from) a
highly scrupulous Brahmin family in India's holiest city, Benares.
Now, in the heady days leading up to World War I, he is a lonely
colonial solicitor in Mombasa, Kenya's most multicultural,
metropolitan city. He possesses numerous physical deformities,
including severe, patchy depigmentation all over his body, one
bright red eye, a wiry shock of waist-length white hair, and
hundreds of smallpox scars. He's a complete outsider with limited
coping mechanisms, and he finds comfort in primarily destructive
ways-alcoholism, bulimia, and committing adultery with married
women. Manik, it is safe to say, is not your typical Casanova. Yet
despite it all, his greatest joy is making women happy, and he
falls deeply in love, again and again. Manik suffers without end,
convinced that he is utterly unable to find someone to truly love
him in return. "Memories of a Mombasa Gigolo" is a complex
character study written in journal style that not only provides a
rich picture of cosmopolitan British colonial Africa in the early
1900s, but also explores the most intimate realm of human emotion
and sexuality while painting a portrait of one of the earliest and
most fascinating melting-pot cities.
