Sex, Straight Up
Meeting a handsome loner on a deserted beach in the Hamptons was like being hit by lightning. One steamy weekend in bed with Daniel O'Sullivan and Catherine Montefiore was marvelously woozy from a delicious cocktail of sun, sand and superhot sex.

She's ready to step in and save the day, but she's hoping Daniel, her hot Irish hunk, will lend a hand. After all, he's got the necessary skills and, straight up or not, Catherine wants another long drink of Daniel before another forty-eight hours are up and her legacy is lost forever!

If These Walls Could Talk
How many times have you walked by or through an interesting old house, wondering about its past and what tales its walls could whisper if they could answer your questions? Although many of Victoria's heritage homes have disappeared, some remain—some rich and elegant and some working class. All have stories to tell. Valerie Green offers the stories of fifty houses and the people who lived, loved and died in them. The homes are illustrated by architectural artist Lynn Gordon-Findlay in exquisite detail. In If These Walls Could Talk, Valerie and Lynn celebrate Victoria's splendid old houses and the history of another era. They include only those residences still standing. The time span ranges from the 1850s to the 1930s and covers a wide spectrum; there are stories about famous houses of historical importance as well as some less familiar, like the Rockland home that rocked with scandal and a farmhouse with a connection to Harrod's, the famous London retailer. Maps have been included to show exact location.
