SHE WAS HIS CAPTIVE
Cholla seethed with fury. The Apache scout had risked his life tracking
down renegades for the white man only to find himself chained like an
animal on the army prison train. Well, if they wanted a vicious savage,
he'd give them one -- he'd even force a white woman to help him escape.
Sierra Forester had gotten in his way, and he was in no mood to let the
beautiful widow go. He didn't intend to harm her, but it was a long way
from St. Louis to Arizona, and along the trail he vowed to discover
exactly what his lovely captive knew about satisfying a man's desires . .
. and unleashing her own!
HE WAS HER PASSION
Every day Sierra grew less afraid of her savage captor. At first she
thought he would kill her . . . or worse. After all, her husband had
died at the hands of the Apache. But this Indian seemed to have more
honor and courage than anyone she'd ever known. As they moved west, the
handsome warrior protected her bravely from wild animals and wilder men
-- and tempted her with delights she'd never imagined. Now her
traitorous soul hoped she'd never be free from his muscular embrace and
searing touch. Her urges were scandalous, but Sierra could resist no
longer. She would give anything to savor the wild ecstasy of his ...

A wealthy psychopath threatens the life of an innocent young manThe note comes during Barry Sanford's dinner. It's to the point, explaining succinctly that very soon, Barry is going to die. Though the note is unsigned, Barry knows that it comes from the desk of King Hubbard. Two years ago, Hubbard's younger brother staggered drunk out of a bar and into the path of Barry's car. Though the courts exonerated the young architect for the killing, King Hubbard has spent the last two years trying to kill Barry Sanford. His efforts—first a subway accident, then a runaway truck—forced the young architect to flee for Florida. Two months later, three shots rang out from a car parked beside Sanford's, missing him only because fear keeps him vigilant. He wound up in Belize, but now Hubbard has found him once more. It is time to keep running, or to make a stand. Views: 40
When this true-crime story first appeared in 1980, it made the New York Times bestseller list within weeks. Two decades later, it's being rereleased in conjunction with a film version produced by DreamWorks. In the space of five years, Frank Abagnale passed $2.5 million in fraudulent checks in every state and 26 foreign countries. He did it by pioneering implausible and brazen scams, such as impersonating a Pan Am pilot (puddle jumping around the world in the cockpit, even taking over the controls). He also played the role of a pediatrician and faked his way into the position of temporary resident supervisor at a hospital in Georgia. Posing as a lawyer, he conned his way into a position in a state attorney general's office, and he taught a semester of college-level sociology with a purloined degree from Columbia University. The kicker is, he was actually a teenage high school dropout. Now an authority on counterfeiting and secure documents, Abagnale tells of his years of impersonations, swindles, and felonies with humor and the kind of confidence that enabled him to pull off his poseur performances. "Modesty is not one of my virtues. At the time, virtue was not one of my virtues," he writes. In fact, he did it all for his overactive libido-he needed money and status to woo the girls. He also loved a challenge and the ego boost that came with playing important men. What's not disclosed in this highly engaging tale is that Abagnale was released from prison after five years on the condition that he help the government write fraud-prevention programs. So, if you're planning to pick up some tips from this highly detailed manifesto on paperhanging, be warned: this master has already foiled you. -Lesley Reed *** "A book that captivates from first page to last." – West Coast Review of Books "Whatever the reader may think of his crimes, the reader will wind up chortling with and cheering along the criminal." – Charlottesville Progress "Zingingly told… richly detailed and winning as the devil." – Kirkus Reviews – Review Views: 40
