Art Vering was the kind of publicity agent who knew that his unusual and provocative methods of selling his clients was the best way to gain recognition. So good were these exploitative schemes, that he caught the eye of hotel tycoon S. J. Magnus. Magnus needed a man like Vering to convince a city council in allowing him to build a hotel next to their new airport. If Art could pull it off, it would be the biggest deal of his burgeoning career. Then he could dump the stuffy woman he was married to and taste the sensuous delights of a free-wheeling life. Desperate to succeed, and confidently cunning, he used an age-old method that most agents would never attempt: Blackmail. For this he deployed the perfect weapon at his disposal-Sherry, the sex-bomb ready to explode. And explode she did, turning this scheme into a frenzy of depravity that Art could never imagine possible! If he didn't play his cards right, this could be the end of his life!Lora Paton admitted she was an amateur . . . in some things. But when Fred Dana offered her a job as his secretary, she jumped at it. This was the man for her-despite being married and greedy for political power. Lora soon became expert enough to teach him not only about love, but politics. Pulling strings, she traded herself to the worst elements of the festering, sin-saddled town for Fred. Then he tried to walk out on her, and she clipped his wings. Soon becoming the woman behind many men, using the age-old art of sex to control more than ever in this vice-ridden city!
