The colorful staff of a hedonistic club attends to the unconventional and sometimes humorous needs of their members while navigating their own friendships, rivalries and romances in this contemporary series.
An actor for the California collective, Black is one of several personnel using a pseudonym. He embarks on recruiting Becky Martin with the ultimate intention of bringing her onto the staff, not as his subordinate, but as his equal. Plagued by a recurring nightmare and stagnant life, Becky actively entertains his proposal.
Black’s closest ally is Cade, the in-house lawyer looking to fill the void of having no genuine connection since coming on board. He sets his sights on an ambitious target after years of being rejected by his co-worker, the showy Hannah Sedgwick.
Certain staff find solidarity in Black’s laidback reticence while others are drawn to the unwavering control imposed by Random, the resident doctor and head of the collective. Random’s most stanch ally is Reno, a snarky and attractive hacker.
Also in his camp are the two most recently hired Tops, Trip and Shay Fontaine, who fills the member relations role. Trip is another actor, whose private issue brewing back home in Oklahoma will drastically challenge his capacity while also ushering a breath of fresh air into his life.
Volume 1 brings Black and Random’s sides together in the equally personal and work-oriented goal of recruiting Becky Martin, who becomes the mutual mission of these two Dominants, binding them over the course of time.
It’s never too dark and never too light in this forward-moving series of desires, mind games, debauchery and the option to live an offbeat life: The Alternative.

The book will be your strongest ally in combatting social awkwardness and will arm you with plenty of icebreaking pieces of trivia, suitable for any occasion.
Following the success of my site RaiseYourBrain and numerous requests from readers, I decided to compile some of the most interesting facts in a book. That’s why I decided to collect the best gems of breath-taking trivia and to present you a great compilation of verified facts, suitable for a broad audience. This is the result of years of sifting through history and reference books on a myriad of subjects as well as searching the Internet and paying attention to the news.
This book is intended to be fun for anyone older than 14 – even the most ‘spicy’ entries, neatly separated in the chapter “Facts about human and animal sexuality”, remain factual and abstain from profanity. To my greatest delight, an avid reader of my site explained that she has been preparing daily fact sheets for her son’s lunch box. She prints out three facts every day to create some lunchtime fun for her son, thus enticing him to read more and provoking his intellectual curiosity. I wish my parents had done something like that for me!
I confess that most trivia books are insufferably boring. This book is different, packed with interesting, educational and fun ingredients; it seeks to entertain as well as challenge. It will provide you with never-ending intellectual ammunition for a lifetime of dinner parties. You will amaze your friends and family by recounting to them that the greatest Chinese pirate of all times was a woman, or that herrings use flatulence to communicate!

One of the greatest hurts that can ever be experienced is living without hope. Hope is the spiritual force that keeps us moving forward. It fills each day with anticipation, excitement, and joy. With hope, there is life, but when hope is stolen and our dreams are crushed, we are left with emptiness. Hopelessness brings the pain of loneliness and despair. The feeling of failure becomes almost unbearable. The Bible says hope deferred makes the heart sick. However, there is hope for your life. You can break free from the heaviness and fog that is trying to pull you into darkness. Like sunshine flooding a room when the curtains are pulled back, hope will flood your soul and you will see the possibilities that the light exposes when you discover the truth that has been hidden from you.
