This groundbreaking anthology looks at the history of the leather and S/M movement.

    His third wife's son, Cole, is crashing with him, and though the boy has a heart of gold - he's a disaster. He has no skills, he's dropped out of college, and the only thing he's got going for him is an incredible ass. Landon decides that Cole would be much better off if he were in control of the boy's life. He has three wives behind him, but maybe he'll have better luck with a submissive little husband... Part TwoLandon loves life as a married man. Cole is obedient and eager to please, and when he's not... well, a little discipline and he's right back on track. Though Cole sometimes struggles with the demands Landon places on him, he's settled into a routine and is happy. The relief of not having to worry or think is amazing, and the fond way Landon looks at him more than makes up for whatever depraved fantasies the older man wants to act out. When Cole is kidnapped, Landon is forced to consider how much the younger man really means to him... Part ThreeIn the aftermath of Cole's kidnapping, Landon is gentle, caring and attentive, and it's driving Cole crazy. He misses his brute of a husband. The one who would lock him up in a leather sleepsack the whole day, just because it turns him on to think of Cole trapped and helpless while he's at work. That's the Landon Cole wants. But how is he supposed to tell his hunky husband that this new, kinder version of him is boring? Cole doesn't know...

    She's resigned herself to coming up with an excuse to leave festivities early when she meets Patrick, the single father of one of her new patients; although Mackenzie is reluctant to date a patient's father, when Patrick presses her, she gives into her interest and begins dating him. Patrick, a dedicated businessman, has been single ever since the mother of his son died, five years before. When his son begins to ask more and more about his dead mother, Patrick finds himself agreeing to a wager with the five-year-old: if he can't find Landon a new mother before New Year's Day, he will buy his son double the Christmas presents. When he meets his son's pretty physical therapist, he thinks--and hopes--that he might have found the perfect candidate.

    Especially when it comes to women. With a rough and damaged past that has left him jaded, he doesn't do committed relationships. But he does like sex—the hotter and harder, the better. He likes it fast and filthy, which is why he refuses to even touch someone as sweet and guileless as Samantha Jamieson. Until he discovers that she likes it just as down and dirty as he does. DIRTY SEXY INKED Breaking hearts is what wild and rebellious Mason Kincaid does best. Hit it and quit it is his motto, and with his bad boy reputation and tattoos, he doesn't lack for female companionship. Until one hot night with the one woman he swore he'd never touch becomes an all consuming addiction he can't kick. Katrina Sands has been his best friend for years, but now that he knows what she feels like, and tastes like, there is no going back to being just friends. Hot, dirty sex has never felt so good...or so right. DIRTY SEXY CUFFED As a cop, Levi Kincaid is all about discipline and control . . .in the bedroom, and out of it, and he's always been very careful about choosing women who abide by his rules. Hot sex and intense pleasure? No problem. Emotional commitment and forever promises? No way. But he never anticipates falling for a blue eyed angel who makes him want to cuff her to his bed and do dirty, sexy things to her. And that control of his? It doesn't stand a chance against Sarah Robins, the one woman he can't resist . . . DIRTY SEXY SINNER After a lifetime of lies, deceit and betrayal, Jackson Stone isn't a man who trusts easily—with women being at the top of the list. Now he’s all about control in every aspect of his life. Especially between the sheets. Hot, mutual pleasure with a woman? No problem, as long as he’s in charge. But there’s something different about sexy bartender Tara Kent that he finds irresistible, in bed and out. Something that has him willing to compromise his principles and bend his rules. Let the sinning begin.

    Two years later, they’ve succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, but there’s still a couple of things missing…and they’re ready to make them happen. Bad boy biker Trick wouldn’t hesitate to fight for those he loves, but Ty knows it will take more than violence to win this war. Willfully submissive Chase has the utmost faith in his Master, but when he sees Ty struggling with demons from his past, it will be his quiet, unbending support that will see them through. Jumping through the loopholes of family court, they are only one event shy of making it all official and neither are willing to wait another second to check it off the list. Clearing the path for adoption should reassure them, but it will take their cast of well-meaning friends and the occasional slap upside the head before they realize that the ties that bind them together are forged in a love that can never be taken away.

    Newton spent time in the noisy bars, the chaotic dressing rooms, and the cheap apartments and hotels that make up the lives of drag queens, interviewing informants whose trust she had earned and compiling a lively, first-hand ethnographic account of the culture of female impersonators. Mother Camp explores the distinctions that drag queens make among themselves as performers, the various kinds of night clubs and acts they depend on for a living, and the social organization of their work. A major part of the book deals with the symbolic geography of male and female styles, as enacted in the homosexual concept of "drag" (sex role transformation) and "camp," an important humor system cultivated by the drag queens themselves."Newton's fascinating book shows how study of the extraordinary can brilliantly illuminate the ordinary—that social-sexual division of personality, appearance, and activity we usually take for granted."—Jonathan Katz, author of Gay American History"A trenchant statement of the social force and arbitrary nature of gender roles."—Martin S. Weinberg, Contemporary Sociology
