Carried Away
Summary
Nobody writes a love story quite like Jill Barnett, whose romantic tales are “as magical and unique as any you ever had the joy to read” (Romantic Times). Now she spirits a misty, secluded island off the central coast of Maine, where a pair of handsome brothers clash with two independent women... The proud descendants of a Highland clan, Calum and Eachann MacLaughlan live in seclusion on a Maine island. The brothers are as different in spirits as they are in looks. Though one is dark and levelheaded, the other fair and adventurous, they have one thing in common: They want brides. When Eachann's two unruly children are expelled from school, he is even more determined to wed. Following an old Scottish tradition, Eachann decides to solve the problem for both himself and his brother.... Spying on a fancy society party, Eachann sees a solution before him. The always capable debutante Georgina Bayard is basking in the light of her own ball. Meanwhile, outside, Amy Emerson is valiantly struggling to conceal her first broken heart. Swept away by this young Scotsman, both young women become captives. Kidnapped and furious, with only each other for support, Amy and Georgina have a choice: Fight for the life they'd previously known...or let their hearts get carried away....

The Flash of Midnight
Summary
The Flash of Midnight is a faithfully accurate portrait of the late 1960s, when free love often meant hopping into bed with someone before the first date, sometimes without regard to the gender of your partner, and an unwed mother was not an overnight celebrity. In June of 1968, leap-year baby Laurie Norber graduates from college and decides to spend the summer in London. At 20, she is so petite and flat-chested she could easily pass for a 13-year-old, and she willfully allows men to believe that she is still "jailbait". Unfortunately, her promiscuous, hippy lifestyle leaves her pregnant and uncertain of the father's identity. Is it a Czech musician with a penchant for illegal drugs, a married rock superstar, or one of the many brief encounters whose names she can't even recall? Upon her return to New York, Laurie sets out with her childhood friend, Kim, on a cross-country drive to Los Angeles. But Laurie and Kim are keeping important secrets from each other, and when the truth is revealed, Laurie finds herself continuing the journey alone. Laurie takes up residence in a Malibu beach house with a middle-aged musician named Bex who thinks Laurie is 16. Over the next few months, Laurie will have memorable encounters with an aspiring young actor, a well-known film and television character actress, a photographer with a taste for bondage, a beloved sitcom starlet, a male nurse, several transvestites, and a police sergeant with a passion for popular songs. By the time her baby is born, Laurie has learned a lot about life but her education is far from over. On a hot June night in 1969, Laurie inadvertently ignites a spark that that will change America forever!

The Chapman Report
Summary
Based on the Kinsey reports, in which Dr. Alfred Kinsey conducted interviews with thousands of men and women on their sexual habits, Irving Wallace's blockbuster novel The Chapman Report concerns the interviewing of a number of society ladies from a community in California known only as "The Briars". These interviews, intended to extract data for a book on the sexual habits of married women, lead the listener on a trail through the lives and loves of several very different women, and the men in their lives. At the same time, the novel examines the lives of those conducting the interviews, their morals and motives, and at last becomes a treatise on love, and sex, and everything in between. As the respectable ladies of Briarwood reveal the most intimate details of their sex lives to the eminent Dr. Chapman and his researchers, they find themselves face to face with long hidden emotions and dangerous desires. (The Chapman Report is an International best-selling novel that was made into a Warner Bros. movie starring Jane Fonda in one of her earliest roles.)

Poor-Sucker Syndrome
Summary
She's entered the cultural mainstream, been immortalized in rap songs, and is probably brunching with friends right now, bragging about her new Louis Vuitton-she's a leech, more commonly known as a gold digger. But what about the man who supports her? How did that Poor Sucker end up footing the bill, and what can he do to free himself from financial abuse? Poor-Sucker Syndrome: The Story about Leeches and the Men That Feed Them sheds light on the emotional deceit of gold diggers and how men so haplessly fall for their calculated charms. In this unique self-help book, written with warmth, wit, and sharp observations of the push and pull between the sexes, Mitch Vandell gives name to and breaks down this widely familiar yet rarely recognized social affliction. Using humorous case studies with theories that incorporate psychology, social anthropology, and economic theory, Poor-Sucker Syndrome explores the enablers and risk factors involved in contracting the syndrome.
