Book Description
Coco Plotnick Hollander Harding, a columnist for Connecticut’s Seaport Gazette, relishes two things in life: food and sex.

While covering a Chaîne des Rôtisseurs vegetarian banquet for the Gazette, Coco finds her appetite whetted by a very charming (and very married) plastic surgeon, Harry Troutman. The two foodies quickly commence a feast of hot infidelity, but anonymous letters sent to Coco’s husband and Harry’s sleek, self-indulgent wife, Eclaire, hint at the torrid affair . . . and provide the crucial ingredients in a recipe for disaster. Will the lovers receive their just desserts? In this lip-smacking debut novel, Judith Marks-White whips up a five-course meal of saucy wit, steamy sex, and tantalizing scandal that will fill your plate and please your palate.

The Pirate's Seduction

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
After the passing of her beloved grandfather and infant son, Lady Lucy Woodfield is being sent to Montserrat to become an elderly plantation owner’s mistress, mostly so she won’t become an embarrassment for her remaining family. Before she can reach her destination, however, her ship is attacked by pirates, and she is taken captive. Since her family refuses to pay the ransom, Lucy is to be sold into slavery, most likely becoming a prostitute in one of the area’s many brothels. “Bloody” Harry Blackburn is a pirate captain in desperate need of a woman – a very specific type of woman. Harry needs a lady of Quality who can give him a son so that he may claim a portion of an aristocratic English title for his own. Fortunately for him, Lucy just happens to be the sort of lady he’s seeking. Unfortunately, there’s a price on Harry’s head, and he’s being hunted by one of the most fearsome pirates in the West Indies – all over a simple misunderstanding about some gold. Can Lucy be what Harry desires, or will her past prevent her from understanding that Harry needs more than just a warm body in his bed? Will Harry ever realize that Lucy is far more than just a delicate English lady? And will they both manage to evade Boucher the Butcher and find a future together? Is it hot? Yes, it is! Please be advised that this 80,200-word novel is written in the true spirit of pirates, including “salty” language and extremely sexual situations that would be historically appropriate for that era. It is NOT a “sweet and clean romance” and is intended for those seeking a MUCH hotter and sexier read while still looking for a romantic happily ever after. This novel is not appropriate for younger audiences.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
If you lived at Downton Abbey, you shopped at Selfridge’s. Harry Gordon Selfridge was a charismatic American who, in twenty-five years working at Marshall Field’s in Chicago, rose from lowly stockboy to a partner in the business which his visionary skills had helped to create. At the turn of the twentieth century he brought his own American dream to London’s Oxford Street where, in 1909, with a massive burst of publicity, Harry opened Selfridge’s, England’s first truly modern built-for-purpose department store. Designed to promote shopping as a sensual and pleasurable experience, six acres of floor space offered what he called “everything that enters into the affairs of daily life,” as well as thrilling new luxuries—from ice-cream soda to signature perfumes. This magical emporium also featured Otis elevators, a bank, a rooftop garden with an ice-skating rink, and a restaurant complete with orchestra—all catering to customers from Anna Pavlova to Noel Coward. The store was “a theatre, with the curtain going up at nine o’clock.” Yet the real drama happened off the shop floor, where Mr. Selfridge navigated an extravagant world of mistresses, opulent mansions, racehorses, and an insatiable addiction to gambling. While his gloriously iconic store still stands, the man himself would ultimately come crashing down. The true story that inspired the Masterpiece series on PBS • Mr. Selfridge is a co-production of ITV Studios and Masterpiece “Enthralling . . . [an] energetic and wonderfully detailed biography.”—London Evening Standard “Will change your view of shopping forever.”—Vogue (U.K.)
