Summary

The Black Arrow is a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is both an historical adventure novel and a romance novel. The Black Arrow tells the story of Richard (Dick) Shelton during the Wars of the Roses: how he becomes a knight, rescues his lady Joanna Sedley, and obtains justice for the murder of his father, Sir Harry Shelton. Outlaws in Tunstall Forest organized by Ellis Duckworth, whose weapon and calling card is a black arrow, cause Dick to suspect that his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and his retainers are responsible for his father's murder. Dick's suspicions are enough to turn Sir Daniel against him, so he has no recourse but to escape from Sir Daniel and join the outlaws of the Black Arrow against him. This struggle sweeps him up into the greater conflict surrounding them all.

    Mild-mannered, middle-aged accountant, Jerry Olsen is one seriously frustrated husband. Over the years, his wife Katie has grown bossy, demanding, and, worst of all, critical and disinterested in bed. Curiously, the only time she’s even remotely into sex is when she’s high.
     
    Fortunately, there is a cannabis dispensary right over the state line in nearby Massachusetts. And, on one bright, sunny Sunday afternoon, he and Katie are on their way home with a whole supply of pot, which he hopes will once again loosen her up come bedtime.
     
    Unfortunately—very unfortunately—the Rhode Island police have been stationing informants next door to this dispensary. And now, just as Jerry and Katie are stopping at an ice-cream stand, along comes a patrol car…and out come two male police officers.
     
    Two horny, lecherous police officers.
     
    Two officers who, upon finding the pot hidden under the seat, conduct a complete and thorough cavity search on Katie right there in the parking lot!
     
    Poor Katie.
     
    And poor Jerry! Talk about frustrated. On the one hand, he feels terrible that his wife is being put through such horrific humiliation. On the other hand, seeing his wife’s beautiful and trembling body being manhandled and explored right out in the open like this is driving him insane--with envy and anger on top of a good dose of desire.
     
    Envy? Times a million! These cops are getting away with things that Katie wouldn’t have allowed him to do in a million years—especially when things move beyond a simple strip-search. He can’t stand it! But when he sees how submissive she’s being for a change, his envy turns to anger, and something snaps inside him—something big.
     
    Damn it! Jerry wants everything those cops are having—and more. And, bossy and demanding or not, Katie is going to give it to him!
