In need of a housekeeper, he is introduced to Shawna Egan, unaware that "his" faeries have taken up residence in her oak tree.

She gives them another and faeries always repay their debts.

If so, he will need help from the Fae, for the dragons he must slay for his lady live in her mind.




Sex, Drugs and Calvin Klein


Book Description

This is my first nonfiction book about the adventures of a cleaning lady in Andalusia and her very interesting employers. If your looking for an unforgettable book that will hold your fascination from the moment you turn the first page to the very last, then you have come to the right place. If you're looking for a book that is hilariously funny, disgustingly crude, full of outrageous unforgettable characters from sex perverts to drug dealers, men plotting their wives murders, obsessive lesbians, cross dressers, Casanovas and adulterers, then this definitely is a book you will enjoy. This book has some very interesting characters from the filthy Percy Trotter who loves delving in bondage, to the outrageous old Willy Wallis who has a real passion for whiskey and long Johns and anorexic whippets. You will also come across Davina the secret cross dresser who loves wearing Chanel no 5 and red high heels, not forgetting Lesbian Liz who has serial stalker written all over her. This book is like nothing you've ever read before. Unforgettable, funny as hell and rather crude, this is a book that is not for the sensitive, politically correct, nor the Florence nightingales of this world. On the other hand if you are not any of the above then what are you waiting for, enjoy... Carmen Bonnici.
