The most important thing in Amanda's life is negotiating a successful merger between her company and Brant Computers, a family-held competitor. It should be a done deal: Company president Eric Brant is on board with the idea.

He can't decide if he wants to put her on the next plane home-in the cargo hold-or kidnap her and spend a long weekend showing her exactly the kind of negotiating he likes best. Come to think of it, if the lady wants war, maybe they should engage in full-on battle... in the bedroom... and see who will be the victor. But when intimacy leads to an explosive passion, it might be time to think of a different, more permanent kind of merger... one that's less about business and all about pleasure...

Mimi's Welcome to Cormac by Richard Average (3 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

'Mimi's Welcome to Cormac' is a rare breed of Historical Fiction, told by an aloof narrator much given to understatement, humorously and ruthlessly depicting a couple who meet during the harsh Era of immigrants to America at the last of the 19th Century. 48 pages with illustrations in charcoal and pencil accompanying the text. According to one of playwright Sean O'Casey's characters: "to the Irish people a serious ting is a joke... and a joke is a serious ting"! Whether or not this is true of any race of people or any person, it at least reminds us of the all-importance of humor in our lives. That being said, I would like to introduce "Mimi's Welcome to Cormac", a farcical, at times hilarious romp from the wilds of Kerry to the wilds of the American west, at the end of the 19th Century. But let the reader beware! This short work is not for the sentimentalist, or the pedant. It is a mash-up of historical fact, legend and gallows' humor. It may be classified as Menippean satire. the Author

The Naked Countess: Part One by Tracy Bell (6 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

Having money, land, a large country estate and a title doesn't always guarantee a happy life. The Dowager Countess of Childwood was in many ways the classic example of that. Her father a minor aristocrat with a crumbling estate had married for money and rumours were that in a loveless marriage the couple were far from faithful to each other. Their lack of love for each other, wasn't limited to each other with their children packed off to boarding school at the earliest opportunity with little interest ever shown in their offspring. It's hardly any wonder then that the future Countess should be a little on the rebellious side and any promiscuity on her part had as much to do with embarrassing her parents as it did to her own sexual gratification. Of course that all changed when she met the man who was to become the love of her life. A life of domestic bliss albeit in the grandeur of a large stately home followed for the next thirty years. That was until tragedy struck and the loving wife was left a widow. Grief takes many forms and for the Countess it was a period of locking herself away in the dowager house, not knowing if she wanted life to continue or how to live her life without the man who gave her so much joy. It wasn't so much a gradual realisation that life needed to go on, but rather a moment of madness. The sun shining on her face lying in bed and a sudden urge to vent her anger and frustration. Going out onto the balcony and naked as the day she was born screaming at the top of her voice. Allowing herself to grieve openly, the tears flowing down her face. It was the start of her rebuilding her life, but it was also the trigger that would take her life down an unexpected path of new found love and sexual adventure. Working in the gardens, Jake a 22 year old who saw himself as something of a ladies man, particularly when it came to the older ladies, saw the naked Countess and made his mind up that this particular older woman was a woman who was ripe ...
