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.
