Book Description
Instead of living at home and attending junior college, why couldn't he be looking out at the New York City skyline even if he were crashing in a cheap loft, broke and hungry. God! There had to be some way that he could get the cash to swing a life of his own. Mort Carmody is a green freshman at Southcoast Junior College in Southern California. He wants to escape his parents' desire for him to be an accountant, and he longs to win the heart of Fredericka McShay, the girl of his dreams. Mort's dad informs him that his chances of becoming a film director are about equal to those of becoming a rock star or an astronaut. But Mort has a plan. Unfortunately, he hasn't factored in the competing ambitions of his kinky professor, some slow-witted but calculating bodybuilders, and an adult film actress with an agenda of her own. It's a wild ride from the school dance to the county jail, to an auto-wrecking yard, and even to a double wedding.

He's mythologically hot, a little bit wicked, and almost 100% immortal. And he'll hit you right in the heart . . . "Miss Black, we have a big problem.” Lila Black doesn't believe in matchmaking, let alone soul mates. So then why is she constantly being hassled by the Cupids Matchmaking Service? But this gilded, cherub-bedecked dating agency isn't exactly what it seems . . . and it’s about to turn Lila's entire world upside down. It turns out that Cupids Matchmaking is the real deal.

He shouldn't have a match. And while he's irresistibly hot, he's also incredibly dangerous. Because Lila's true love match is Cupid. The original bad boy of love. And he wants her. Now Lila's once-normal teenaged world has exploded into a mythological nightmare overrun by crime-lord sirens, wrathful cupid hit men, magic arrows that cause no end of trouble, and a mischievous, not-so-angelic love god she can't seem to stop herself from falling for . . .

Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 0374706050
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
A great poet's freshest, most provocative book. He dreams at the center of a closed system, Like the prison system, or a system of love, Where folktale, recipe, and household custom Refer back to the maze that they are of. --from "A System: PCP, or Angel Dust" Taste and appetite are contraposed in Boss Cupid, the twelfth book of poems by the quintessential San Francisco poet, who is also the quintessential craftsman and quintessentially a love poet, though not of quintessential love.Variations on how we are ruled by our desires, these poems make a startling and eloquent gloss on wanton want, moving freely from the story of King David and Bathsheba to Arthur Rimbaud's diet to the tastes of Jeffrey Dahmer. As warm and intelligent as it is ribald and cunning, this collection of Thom Gunn's is his richest yet.

Cupid's Arrow

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 26
Book Description
Safina Ralph is single on Valentine's Day. She's determined to have a good time in L.A. away from her home in Chicago with her friend, Lynn. The two of them have exclusive passes to Red, the hottest nightclub on Venice Beach. Just as the festive atmosphere begins to coax Safina into the party mood, she notices someone, or something in the rafters, shooting arrows into the crowd of unsuspecting partygoers below! Chaos erupts as Safina races to stop the attack. When she confronts Kal, one of the club's sexy owners, Safina's sure he's the attacker despite his warm reassurances and her body's hot response to his touch. Consumed with overwhelming feelings of dj vu and desire, Safina is relieved to get back home but she can't shake unsettling questions and Kal's handsome face from her mind. After their encounter at Red, Kal tracks Safina down in Chicago with questions of his own. And the answers for them both could be the key to everything they've wished for, but will Safina accept the truth and can Kal trust his heart? Excerpt: "Are you alright?" Lynn yelled, coming over to her. Safina rubbed her temples, trying to talk over the noise. "I think I need to take a break. I'm going to the bathroom." "I'll go with you." "No, you stay. Your guy can actually dance. I'll be right back." Safina smiled weakly at her friend before weaving through the mass of bodies. At least she shared the same shoe size as Lynn, but the heels were higher than she preferred. Relieved to finally see the bathroom sign, Safina cursed when someone bumped into her from the side. She turned to see the rude person responsible for her possibly bruised shoulder, but no one paid her any attention. Looking heavenward in exasperation, Safina noticed something flashing overhead in the open ceiling design of the club. She narrowed her gaze and sucked in a quick breath. What the-? Someone was up there! Moving toward the bathroom door and away from the rest of the crowd, Safina looked up again and gasped in surprise. Blinking twice, she tried to make sense of what she was seeing. There was a man with wings balancing dangerously on a rafter beam about thirty feet off the ground! She watched in shocked silence as the winged man drew something from his back. A bow and arrow! Safina's mouth fell open in shock as he pulled the massive bow back and took aim at someone on the ground. Panic, icy cold and paralyzing, gripped her as she watched the arrow descend with unerring accuracy to the unsuspecting women dancing with a man. Lynn! In slow motion, Safina saw the arrow pierce Lynn's back and disappear from view. Gasping with horror, Safina dashed back toward the dance floor. "No!" Safina screamed. "No! Someone stop him!" She couldn't move fast enough and no one seemed to hear her over the thump of the loud music. Tears blinded her as she fought her way through the crowd. Safina reached Lynn, yanking her hard away from her bewildered dance partner. "Lynn!" Safina cried, looking at her friend's chest. Maybe the arrow had gone straight through. Lynn frowned. "What's wrong with you?" Safina shook her head. "I thought you were hurt. I-I saw him . . . and he shot you!" Lynn touched Safina's head. "You must be sick. I'm fine. Better than fine-" "I saw him. Look!" Safina pointed up toward the ceiling and froze when her eyes locked with the mysterious man overhead. He studied her and Safina stared back, unable to tear away her gaze. "Do you see him?" She yelled, feeling her legs start to wobble as she shook Lynn's arm. Lynn squinted up at the dark ceiling. "I don't see anything, Safina." Safina watched transfixed as the winged man leapt into the air and disappeared in a flash. A second later, she crumpled to the floor.

I feel my heart racing when I see his face. I lose all my words when he smiles at me. My best moments are alone in my bed when I dream of him. He's my best friend. I feel intoxicated by his touch. Suffocation when he's near. Motivated when I see his girlfriend, to let him know I'm the one. His name is Jason. It's confession time. I'm in love with my best friend. My name is Melissa, and I've been best friends with Jason since grade school. It's now senior year, and I'm determined to let him know how I feel about him. With the help of Cupid and my friend, Kerri, I hope to find the words to tell him how I feel. The feelings that I have for this man is unexplainable.

Girlfriend or not, I need his undivided attention. It's wrong to have this much lust for one individual person. I never been kissed.
