Synopsis

In "Eatin' Crow; and The Best Man in Garotte," Frank Harris masterfully weaves together two captivating narratives infused with his signature blend of ribald humor and incisive social criticism. The stories traverse the complexities of human relationships, moral dilemmas, and the stark realities of life, all delivered in a vivid, conversational style that reflects the author's deep understanding of the zeitgeist of his era. From the gritty streets to the intimate corners of society, Harris captures the essence of American life in the early 20th century, revealing both its absurdities and its poignancies. Frank Harris, a journalist, rebel, and self-proclaimed provocateur, lived a life steeped in the very experiences he pen. Known for his unabashed exploration of topics often deemed taboo, Harris's writings reflect the influences of his diverse upbringing and the literary movements of his time, including realism and modernism. His encounters with prominent literary and artistic figures further shaped his unique voice, making his works poignant reflections of societal norms and their discontents. "Eatin' Crow; and The Best Man in Garotte" is an essential read for enthusiasts of early 20th-century literature and anyone seeking a thought-provoking yet entertaining exploration of life's complexities. Harris's unapologetic style invites readers to confront the uncomfortable truths of existence, ensuring a lingering resonance long after the last page is turned.

    I never planned to give my V-card to a gorgeous stranger I met at a bar. 
    But for once I didn't let myself overthink things. In the few hours we spent together, he managed to push me outside my comfort zone. 
    And I loved every second. 
    I never expected to see him again. Let alone sitting at the head of the boardroom table during my architectural firm's pitch to design his new hotel chain. 
    Turns out the man I spent one steamy night of passion with is Cole King, billionaire COO of the King Group. And unlike our previous encounter, when it comes to business, he’s as cold as ice. 
    Now I’m working for him, and it’s… challenging. 
    He’s arrogant, demanding, and seems to delight in pushing my buttons. But with every “one-on-one” meeting he insists we have, the memory of that night simmers between us. 
    I should never have agreed when he proposed a no-strings-attached arrangement, but I wanted to experience more of what he could give me. 
    I didn’t mean to trade my heart in return. 
    Now it’s too late. 
    Because no matter the warmth his touch brings, Cole is as icy in love as he is in business. 
    And I’m the one who’s going to get burned. 
    Coldhearted King is a full-length, spicy, one-night stand, billionaire workplace romance, with a virgin heroine, a dirty-talking hero, and a guaranteed happily ever after. It's the first book in the Empty Kingdom billionaire romance series but can be read as a standalone.

    Augustus Walker, Jr. is a problem. 
    Every queer person I know has had a tragic crush on a straight person at some point in their lives, and for the last year, Walker has been mine. 
    Not that my crush on him is serious—I'm just appreciating a sweet, sexy guy who happens to be a big fat goose egg on the Kinsey scale. 
    Le sigh and all that. 
    The Lost Boys—my queer friends from high school—insist, however, that he gets flustered every time we're in the same room together. Last night, he blushed when I teased him about his perfect abs. 
    I'm afraid to push because I respect his sexuality, and I see how his family feels about him having a bunch of gay friends. 
    Still, I gotta wonder… am I the only one with a crush?

    Rumors said that the gang Ieaders of a dozen large cities had been bludgeoned into joining the Army of Death – controlled by a men calling himself the General. 
    He stumbled forward, and a last burst escaped from the machine-gun. One shot nicked Johnny Kerrigan along the ribs, another caught him in the thigh. Then the rest of the hail swept down lower and riddled Russ Kimber, where he cowered on the floor. 
    Johnny Kerrigan was sent staggering sideways against the wall. He steadied his revolver against his elbow, and emptied it into the doorway, where a second man had appeared. This one dropped, and a third stepped into his place, also with a machine-gun. He raised it. 
    Johnny Kerrigan’s gun was empty. He could not retreat, because of his injured leg. He could not charge, either. He shrugged. 
    “Okay, mug,” he said. “I can take it!”

    ATHENA 
    I've always shot for the moon, but if you'd told me I'd be earning seven figures aged twenty-four, I would never have believed you. 
    And if you'd told me that I'd earn every penny of that success by selling my body and my soul, I'd have laughed in your face. 
    Still. Here I am at Seraph, an elite agency that recruits only the most well-educated, accomplished and discreet women. 
    Our area of expertise? "Full service" executive assistants to the most powerful men in the world. 
    Whatever our bosses need, we provide. Day or night, in the boardroom or the bedroom. 
    It's every bit the challenge I've longed for, and it's more fulfilling than I could ever have dreamt. My secret? Discipline. An open mind. And rock-solid boundaries. 
    None of which are a problem, until I cross paths with Gabriel Sullivan, a former Catholic priest turned billionaire CEO whose appetites are voracious as his demons are relentless. 
    In the midst of all his inner turmoil and outer pressures, I know it's my very impassiveness that he values the most. 
    Too bad he's the only man I've worked for who makes me want to burn every one of my boundaries to ash. 
    Audacity is a scorching hot billionaire, age gap, workplace romance spun off from my Alchemy series. It's the story of Athena, Anton Wolff's "full service" executive assistant in Unveil. 
    There are group activities along the way, but Athena and Gabriel get a monogamous HEA.
