Eleanor Connor has written lots of steamy novels, but sadly her own life is more mundane. In fact, the nearest she's come to passion for ages is having to listen through the thin walls of her house as friend and neighbour Hugh seduces an endless stream of women. But then Eleanor has a one-night fling of her own, waking up alone, repentant, and as she later realises, pregnant. Desperate to find her missing lover, if only to tell him he's going to be a father, she enlists Hugh to help her search. But should she be looking closer to home to find out what it is she really needs?

In this raucous collection of true-life stories, Chelsea Handler recounts her time spent in the social trenches with that wild, strange, irresistible, and often gratifying beast: the one-night stand. You've either done it or know someone who has: the one-night stand, the familiar outcome of a night spent at a bar, sometimes the sole payoff for your friend's irritating wedding, or the only relief from a disastrous vacation. Often embarrassing and uncomfortable, occasionally outlandish, but most times just a necessary and irresistible evil, the one-night stand is a social rite as old as sex itself and as common as a bar stool. Enter Chelsea Handler. Gorgeous, sharp, and anything but shy, Chelsea loves men and lots of them. My Horizontal Life chronicles her romp through the different bedrooms of a variety of suitors, a no-holds-barred account of what can happen between a man and a sometimes very intoxicated, outgoing woman during one night of passion. From her short fling with a Vegas stripper to her even shorter dalliance with a well-endowed little person, from her uncomfortable tryst with a cruise ship performer to her misguided rebound with a man who likes to play leather dress-up, Chelsea recalls the highs and lows of her one-night stands with hilarious honesty. Encouraged by her motley collection of friends (aka: her partners in crime) but challenged by her family members (who at times find themselves a surprise part of the encounter), Chelsea hits bottom and bounces back, unafraid to share the gritty details. My Horizontal Life is one guilty pleasure you won't be ashamed to talk about in the morning.

"Funny. Swoon worthy. Heartwarming. An unforgettable story and an incredible start to the series! A new favorite!" - Devney Perry, USA Today Bestselling Author If you’re a guy like me, and you find yourself having banged your sexy new boss—the school principal—in the back of your Jeep one drunken night, here’s a few takeaways based on my experience... Lesson One: Always get her FULL name. Lesson Two: Consider asking what she does for a living. Lesson Three: Find out why she’s moved to town. Get details. Details are crucial. Lesson Four: Don’t alter her bio in front of an auditorium of high school students unless you know she has a sense of humor for that sort of thing. Lesson Five: If you ignore Lesson Four, apologize instead of flirt when you’re sent to the principal’s office. Lesson Six: NEVER sleep with her again. Lesson Seven: Pay attention to this one—it’s the most important of them all. Don’t fall for your one-night stand. Class dismissed. "These characters were funny, relatable, and real, making it an addictive page turner I couldn't get enough of!" - Kennedy Fox, USA Today Bestselling Author ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thanks to Rosa Liksom, post-punk writing is alive and well in Finland. Her vignettes on contemporary urban living have made her the representative writer of her generation. Her characters work play and drink hard and have little time to wallow in self-indulgence. Like the film maker Karusmaki, Rosa Liksom portrays a generation left high and dry by the post-war economic 'miracle'. No-hopers for whom paradise is drugs and cheap drink in Copenhagen.

You’re invited to an exclusive den of iniquity… where Hollywood’s gay stars and power brokers can speed-dial the sex fantasies of their dreams… if they can pay the price. It’s a private connection, so guarded, people would do anything to protect its secret… anything! Like millions of other gorgeous, iron-pumped young guys, Derek Bracken came to Hollywood with dreams of stardom and maybe a chance at Mr. Right. But after a few years of waiting tables, juggling acting classes and auditions, and working the casting couch on his back, Derek’s still a sexy unknown… until a sheet-soaking session with a Hollywood hotshot takes his life and career in a very new and profitable direction… As a top-notch escort servicing Tinseltown’s closeted celebrities, politicians, and gay mafia dons, Derek becomes a star in his own right. With his underwear model-worthy body, considerable bedroom skills, and the kind of imagination that turns any encounter into sexual nirvana, he’s made a small fortune and lots of high-powered friends. But Derek wants more. Trawling the West Hollywood clubs and internet chat rooms, the aspiring stud broker collects his own “dirty dozen” –a reliable coterie of young men with diverse body types, trained to cater to rich men’s $5,000-and-up sexual desires. At One Night Stand, nothing is too taboo, too outrageous, too close to the edge for the powerful clients who come to play in private. And Derek, finally finding his place, will do whatever is necessary to take care of his unconventional yet very real family. But not everyone is happy with One Night Stand. For years, the Hollywood and Beverly Hills sex-for-sale scene has been run by the nefarious Fraker, a man who has no intention of being deposed by some new-boy-on-the-block upstart. Watching his business empire crumble, fighting desperately for control, Fraker wants to win at all costs—even if it jeopardizes everyone in Derek’s little black book. As rumors shake Hollywood to its core and headlines about America’s hottest icons paying for gay sex hit front pages the world over, as careers hang in the balance and the sex lives of the rich and famous are splashed across TV screens, Derek and his boys are in for the fight of their lives. And no one has any idea how dirty it will get.
