Summary

Metal sculptor Bay Butler spent six years in a Texas prison for a crime she did not commit—until the efforts of a powerful client get her conviction overturned. Suddenly Bay is free, but she is still plagued with questions. Why was she imprisoned based on circumstantial evidence? And what really happened the night her business partner was found brutally murdered in their studio?Her quest for the truth brings her face-to-face with Jack Burke, the cop who arrested her for the murder. Bay Butler's case has haunted him for six years—and so has the woman herself.While Bay feels she owes benefactress Madeleine Ridgeway her life, she is unsettled by the woman's fierce attention. Since she is the powerful head of a large ministry, her patronage of Bay should be welcome. Instead, it puts Bay and Jack on a trail of deadly secrets that threaten the foundation of a small Texas town…a town where power and money have exacted a price in blood.

    From bestselling author Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquleaure. In the traditional folktale of 'Sleeping Beauty,' the spell cast upon the lovely young princess and everyone in her castle can only be broken by the kiss of a Prince. It is an ancient story, one that originally emerged from and still deeply disturbs the mind's unconscious. Now Anne Rice's retelling of the Beauty story probes the unspoken implications of this lush, suggestive tale by exploring its undeniable connection to sexual desire. Here the Prince reawakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him…as Anne Rice explores the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic that becomes, with her skillful pen, a compelling experience.

    “Don, I got tickets for the concert in the park for next month. I hope the weather will be nice for it,” I said to my husband as he stuffed papers into his briefcase. “I do love concerts in the park. Don’t you?”	“Hmm,” was all he said “Where is my agenda?”	I tried not to feel hurt by him brushing me off. It was nothing new these days. He’d been so busy with work lately that he didn’t seem to have time for me or anything else. I sighed and handed him the leather bound book. He took it without a word and zipped up his messenger bag. Slinging it over his shoulders, he picked up his travel bag and suitcase. He was off to another business trip.	“I have to go. I’ll call you from the airport,” he said as he headed downstairs.  I followed him. 	“Where are you going this time?”  I asked.	“Denver.”	“How long will you be gone?”	Don shrugged. “I’m not sure. What’s with all the questions, huh? I’ll be back when I’m done.”	I looked at him. “I’m sorry, dear. I want to know because I miss you when you’re gone. That’s all. I’m not trying to get in your business.”	He glanced at me over his shoulder briefly before checking...

As an M.D. with the Federal Bureau of Infections Diseases, he is heading over to Charlesborough Elementary School, three days before school opens, in order to examine all female teachers, and the school principal, for signs of a serious bacterial infection that has hit the area. Baloney. First of all, there is no infection. None whatsoever. Second, Dr. Bishop, it turns out, is no doctor at all! Not even close. He is a sex-starved lover of women’s bottoms who conjures up a devious scheme in order to gain access to a virtual parade of said women’s lovely rear ends.How? Well, he informs the principal that she and her staff are to report to the school nurse’s office where he will “screen” them for signs of this infection. How? Well, er, with a digital rectal exam, of course.Ah, of course.So, one by one, in they come—twenty-five beautiful, embarrassed schoolteachers who must raise their skirts, take down their panties, bend over, and grant the phony doc full rights to their splendid, quivering behinds, inside and out. One by one, they submit to his demands in the most submissive way imaginable. One by one they provide the horny guy with the greatest sexual thrill he ever had!Yes, indeed, “Dr.” Bishop’s hands and fingers are in heaven as they delight themselves in some serious roundness, firmness, softness, and tightness. His eyes are in their glory as well, as teacher after very embarrassed teacher positions her scrumptious behind inches from his devious grin. And his libido gets an additional thrill and a half as he enjoys all signs of their utter humiliation and infectious shakiness.On and on he lives his dream. Over and over again. That is, until the school principal, Janine Daniels, shows up for her exam. Well, she’s no dummy and she sees right through his charade.He’s doomed. Yes, our lecherous “Dr.” Bishop is in serious, serious trouble. Or… is he?Might it be that this tough, no nonsense administrator just might let him off the hook? Perhaps. Perhaps Ms. Daniels has needs that are every bit as compelling as his. But one thing is for certain: Given the severity of his offense, she has no desire to make this easy on him. To say the least! Our fake man of medicine is about to learn that “doctor’s orders” can’t hold the candle to the demands of a woman with more power over him than he bargained for!Lovers of embarrassed, humiliated women and all things anal, this kinky 12,000-word erotic comedy is for you. If you like your beautiful, bouncy, bare bottoms by the bushel, you’re going to love everything our anti-hero, the phoniest doctor of all-time, gets away with!This is Book #8 in J.C. Cummings’ “Shy Women, Maximum Embarrassment” series: a naughty (and sometimes nasty!) collection of tales featuring shy, nervous, modest women who find themselves in the most embarrassing, degrading, humiliating situations imaginable! One way or another, these shaky beauties must submit to the demands of men who, one way or another, claim to have the right to frisk, fondle, and finger them to their, um, hard-ons’ content! So, much to these ladies’ displeasure, their clothes come off, their goodies are revealed for all hungry eyes to see, and their bodies are subjected to all manner of groping and penetration that leave them breathless, outraged, and embarrassed to the max. And the men? Well, the men are perfectly happy to have all this power, control, and domination over them—and they wind up feeling pretty darned gratified as a result of all the incredible privileges that, one way or another, have come their way!

Since she just left a relationship in a hugely viral way, she should be the last woman I'm seen with.On second thought, we can help each other . . .I need a steady, supportive "girlfriend" for the court of public opinion, not entanglements.

Three months—that's how long it should take for us both to scratch this itch and leave our respective scandals behind. But the more I know this woman, the less I can picture my life without her. And when I'm forced to choose, I'll realize I don't merely want her in my bed or need her for a ruse. I more than love her enough to do whatever it takes to make her mine for good.Contains mature themes.
