Book excerpt: “So hot it will have to be printed on asbestos.” - Liz Smith, New York Daily News Fierce, sharp, and wildly beautiful Lucky Santangelo, Jackie Collins’s own favorite character, returns for more scandal, scheming, and pulse-pounding drama in the second book of the internationally bestselling Lucky Santangelo series. As she arrives in Las Vegas, Lucky’s focused on getting her father Gino to sign off on some new developments underway in Atlantic City. But when opportunity strikes, Lucky’s always ready—and now she has the chance to take on heading a casino complex right in Vegas. Lucky’s past always seems to catch up with her though, and she’s surprised to discover that aging billionaire Dimitri Stanislopoulos is also in Vegas, with his daughter, Olympia, Lucky’s long lost friend. Kindred spirits who were both painfully out of place in the stodgy boarding school they were forced to attend, Lucky and Olympia had run off together, landing at a French villa where they stayed with Olympia’s much older Hollywood producer lover—until their dads found out. They never spoke again, for decades, until now, although Lucky may learn some friendships are best left behind. Maybe the most unexpected surprise for Lucky, though, is finding love with rising comedian Lennie Golden. But will she be too much for him. . . and will he be enough for her? Packed with colorful characters and coursing with passion, suspense, and round-the-world adventure, from California, to Paris, from New York to a private Greek island, this decadent story is a gripping thrill ride of dangerous passion and power at any cost—at once a richly satisfying saga and a perfect poolside read as only Jackie Collins could write it! Adapted in the 90s into a highly successful NBC mini-series, the Santangelo novels are currently being developed for TV once again by Working Title Productions and the updated series is set to be compulsive, sexy and totally binge-worthy! hr "Marvelous...Fast-moving...Suspense-filled." -Houston Chronicle "Impossible to put down." -Wall Street Journal hr Read the whole Lucky Santangelo series! 1.

Book excerpt: “Collins’ novels are an over-the top, steamy delight. Clearly she had as much fun writing them as we do reading them.” - The Guardian Fontaine Khaled, former jet-setting supermodel with an insatiable sexual appetite, returns in the much-anticipated follow-up to the international bestseller, The Stud. Divorced from her financier husband following a string of salacious scandals in London surrounding her nightclub, Hobo, Fontaine’s now single and ready for adventure, but young men and anonymous amore are all this ballsy British beauty bargains for. Then Greek playboy Nico Constantine enters the picture. . . This devastatingly handsome charmer is still reeling from the tragic loss that propelled him into a lifestyle of heavy spending, wanton womanizing, and a dangerous dalliance with gambling that has essentially cost him everything. While hatching a plan to pay back his debt, he encounters the incomparable Fontaine, and he can’t deny his immediate and intense passion for her when he makes her steamy acquaintance on a flight from New York to London. While Nico needs to use Fontaine to stay alive on the streets, in her bed is where he truly comes alive. But can Fontaine, with her deep distrust for men in general, see beyond his scheming and into his heart? The bitch is back, baby. . . But she’s met her match in Nico. As this wild tour de force rollercoasters from Greece to Los Angeles, from Las Vegas to New York to London, will love prevail? Or will temptation get the best of them? hr Already read The Bitch?

Book excerpt: ”Sex-filled, escapist, utterly unpretentious.” – New York Times Jackie Collins beckons you to experience the hottest, wildest domain of pleasure-seekers in 1969 London in The Stud, where the desires and dalliances of the wife of a billionaire financier bring new meaning to the word debauchery. Former supermodel Fontaine Khaled needs more in her life than just being arm candy to her wealthy Arab businessman husband, Benjamin Khaled. A one-time jetsetter who traveled the world for thrills, she’s climbing the walls to find the excitement her senior citizen spouse just can’t provide. Sure, she spends his money and most of her time on partying, shopping, and her hot new nightclub, Hobo. But what she really craves is a young, sensual man who can deliver the goods. . . and the new manager of the club is ready to deliver. Tony Blake comes from the wrong side of the tracks but has been quickly scaling the ladder of social status thanks to his good looks, charm, and a body that won’t quit. Self-described as a taller Tony Curtis with a touch of Michael Caine and Kris Kristofferson thrown into the mix, Tony can—and does—sleep with anyone who can bring him to the next level, including his sexy, insatiable boss. Fontaine knows he gets around, but she doesn’t care . . . until Tony becomes enamored with the one woman he’d do best to stay away from. Now Tony’s days of being Fontaine’s stud—and staff—are numbered as he’s about to learn a hard lesson in lines that should never be crossed. Told in the voices of these decadent and daring characters, The Stud is a fast, racy romp that’s sure to delight! Already read The Stud? Try more by Jackie Collins. The Stud Series 1. The Stud 2.

And not only females, males felt that way too – they were always coming onto him, eyeing him appreciatively, inviting him to a ball game, lunch or a night on the town. Anything he wanted in fact. In fact, he wanted nothing. Tony Guiseppi had learned at an early age that looks were only the package. He knew he was exceptionally good looking. It did not impress him. Tony Guiseppi was half Italian (his father, Roberto, was a crotch-stroking, drunken native of Naples, who came to America in 1972 for a vacation and stayed), and half American (his mother, Ruth, would have been a Jewish princess if only her family had possessed money). As it was she was a waitress when his father came upon her – literally. They were married exactly one month before Tony entered the world.

Lucky is preparing for the opening of her multibillion-dollar hotel complex in Las Vegas, The Keys, but Bonar-a vicious killer-is out to stop her any way he can. Meanwhile, sixteen-year-old Max has run off to Big Bear with a man she's met on the Internet. But he turns out to be a vengeful predator with a long-standing grudge against Lucky...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jackie Collins' fierce and wildly beautiful heroine Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance—in a novel full of power, passion, revenge, and the raging family dynamics of the Santangelo clan—and, as always, Lucky comes out on top. Lucky runs a high profile casino and hotel complex, The Keys in Vegas. Lennie, her movie star husband, is still writing and directing successful independent movies, while Max, her stubborn and gorgeous teenage daughter is about to celebrate her 18th birthday, and her son, Bobby, owns a string of hot clubs. Lucky has everything. Family. Love. Life. And everything is exactly what billionaire businessman Armand Jordan is determined to take from her one way or the other. Born a Prince in the small but affluent Middle Eastern country of Akramshar, Armand comes to America with his American mother at an early age, and rises to become a real estate business titan. Armand regards women as nothing more than breeding mares or sexual playthings, so when his people inform him that the one property he covets more than anything, The Keys, is not for sale, he is shocked. That a mere woman would dare to turn down his offer to buy The Keys is unthinkable, and Armand vows to force Lucky's hand whatever it takes. And so the battle for power begins . . . Meanwhile Bobby is dealing with shady Russian investors, while his girlfriend—smart and independent Denver Jones—is becoming a Deputy D.A. in the L.A. drug unit. And Max, Bobby's seventeen year old sister, is busy embarking on a forbidden affair with a sexy young movie star. An affair they have to keep on the down-low lest Lucky finds out. The word is that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" and what happens in Goddess of Vengeance will blow your mind!

Book excerpt: "Contains... all the goodies that make today’s bestsellers." – New York Post In the internationally bestselling first book of the iconic Lucky Santangelo series, smart, sexy and savvy Lucky Santangelo finds running her family’s criminal empire exhilarating. She will do whatever it takes to ensure her self-made mob boss father, Gino, doesn’t return from his self-imposed exile. But of course, Gino has other plans. Lucky tries to enlist the help of Costa Zennocotti, her father’s right-hand man but quickly learns his loyalty lies only with Gino. . . at least for now. As Lucky impressively plots to keep control, suspense builds through a series of interwoven stories, past and present, that create a rich tantalizing tapestry of intrigue involving an unforgettable cast of characters. There’s Lucky’s younger brother, Dario, who’s being terrorized by his manipulative male lover. There’s Steven Berkely, the charismatic lawyer Lucky gets trapped with in an elevator during the New York City blackout of 1977. And then there’s Steven’s mother, Carrie, the elegant society wife, who’s being blackmailed to keep the shocking events of her past concealed—and by an adversary that may hit too close to home. As secrets old and new are revealed, Jackie Collins’s masterful storytelling sweeps readers from the height of the family’s power in the 1970s, to the streets of 1920s New York City, where the crime enterprise first originated, from the playgrounds of Europe to the glittering gambling palaces of Las Vegas, in a steamy, sensual, page-turning epic saga that builds to a stunning climax and leaves you yearning for more.

Famed activist Margaret Lawrence Brown had always been a staunch advocate for women through her Free Women Now organization, especially for sex workers in New York City.

Book excerpt: First published in 1968, The World is Full of Married Men was branded as “shocking,” especially coming from a female author but despite being banned in several countries for its scandalous content became a #1 bestseller in just two weeks! Always ahead of her time, in her racy debut, Jackie Collins flips on its head the hypocritical double standard of it being okay for men to sleep around but not for women. Successful London ad executive David Cooper is still sexy at forty. Plus, he’s got money and power, and therefore, any woman he wants for as long as he wants. His marriage to his nagging wife, Linda, has never gotten in the way of that. When gorgeous starlet Claudia Parker enters the picture, he becomes so smitten that he’s ready to divorce Linda to marry Claudia. But Claudia has no intentions of being shackled by a ring on her finger. When the relationship falls apart, he vies to get his wife back. Except Linda’s already moved on, swept up in a racy romance with Hollywood producer Jay Grossman. Despite David’s pleas, there’s no way she’s giving up her glamorous new lifestyle for the likes of him. David soon becomes a broken shell of a man, facing his fifties alone. As his once-meteoric career success takes a catastrophic dive, he finds comfort in the bottle and in the arms of his dowdy secretary, Harriet, while Linda’s life only gets better. Will there be a redemption for David? Or will karma get the last laugh in this sizzling, fast-paced, and thoroughly entertaining page-turner--the novel that launched Collins into her role as the Queen of flashy fiction. hr Read both of The World is Full series, as well as all the New York Times bestselling books by Jackie Collins! 1.

Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK The inside peek at Hollywood and the lives of the rich and famous provided by Jackie Collins through her books has made her one of the world's best-selling writers. She has more than 400 million books sold in over 40 countries, and every one of her 28 books have appeared on the New York Times bestsellers list. Many debut at #1 the moment they are published. A number of her books have made it to the big screen. One of ABC Network's highest-rated miniseries was based on Jackie Collins' Hollywood Wives, starring Anthony Hopkins and Candice Bergen. Undoubtedly one of the main reasons Jackie Collins' books are so popular is that her characters are closely patterned on real personalities, often blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Collins herself claims that she writes about real people in disguise, and with books such as Hollywood Wives, Hollywood Husbands, Hollywood Divorces, and Hollywood Kids, her readers are often left wondering which real-life famous person they are actually reading about and just where the truth ends and fiction begins. The other key factor in her popularity, of course, is the liberal addition of plenty of graphic sex. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Around that time Jackie Collins purportedly had a fling with Marlon Brando, who was then 29 years old to her 15. She was partying at a club in Hollywood with sister, Joan, when a handsome young Marlon Brando sent a messenger over to their table asking to meet her. Brando was hot box office property at the time, riding on the wave of Academy Award nominations for A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) and The Wild One (1953). Jackie didn't hesitate, and they had what she later called "a very brief but fabulous affair." In 1960, Jackie Collins married her first husband, Wallace Austin, who was 12 years her senior. They had a daughter, Tracy, in 1961, and were divorced in 1964 after four and a half years of marriage. Jackie later revealed that Wallace was a compulsive gambler, substance abuser and mentally unstable. Wallace eventually killed himself of a drug overdose. As she seemed to do with every experience in her life, Jackie viewed this time as a period of learning and research that helped her become knowledgeable about drugs and drug use, knowledge she used to inform future novels...
