BLURB:
When
Camille volunteers for the youth outreach program in the small town of
Prosperity little does she know that she has put herself in harm's way. Sheriff
Griffin, the program leader, and his son, Grant, lord over an empire of
criminal activities ranging from - illegal drugs, robbery, murder, political
corruption and pornography. In short order, Grant becomes Camille's lover and
introduces her to life as a recreational drug user. After Camille weathers a
brutal beating by Grant's disapproving Dad, she turns to her newly-widowed,
fiery friend Jennifer for help. What can two downtrodden women do to rid a
tortured town of its misogynistic Machiavellian sheriff and malevolent
mayor? Plenty.
Plenty, the powerful feminist flip
side of Fifty Shades of Grey, captivates as a spine-tingling suspense novel
about the risky yet all-important road to self-actualization and happiness in
spite of a horrible family situation and consequential bad decisions. The dark
side of sex kitten training will prove jarring to some readers, but others will
see how evil insidiously manifests itself in the lives of injured souls -
especially trafficked teens. As in life, a dysfunctional childhood, sets the
stage for victimization, while violence and heroin, create the craving to
please - all represent tools of the trade to control and peddle young women. Plenty holds special appeal for resilient, smart, resourceful women who rescue
themselves and the men who love them. Plenty infused with spice, a lot of
naughty-never nice. Not for the faint of heart or for those looking for a tame,
sleepy time story. Written by a long-time James Bond enthusiast, action-packed Plenty jets along
at a jolting 007 pace.

EXCERPT
“He
grabbed his bipod and his rifle, gasping as if burned before he cuddled his
treasure to lie prone on the ground. Deeper breaths escaped his lips as he
looked through his new $2,000 scope. The highway lay within range, just four
hundred yards away. The brush provided perfect cover for his car and him. His
target would be unmistakable—an old blue Ford truck, speckled with Bondo,
pulling a flatbed. A scheduled drop would make the task easy. Purvis—too
sloppy, too addicted, too stupid to be valuable . . . anymore. Nestling into a
spot, the hit man grinned and sighted his gun on the highway in full view. He
grimaced for a moment as he realized his hands still trembled.
I’m
a little shaky, but I can hit a moving truck. After all, that’s what hit men
do.
