Rat Pack Party Girl: From Prostitute to Women's Advocate is the gutsy and wrenching story of former Rat Pack high-roller and sex-trade survivor Jane McCormick. Not only does she reveal her 1960s sexcapades with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Vic Damone, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Jerry Lewis, Bill Frawley and other celebrities, she also details her molestation by an abusive stepfather and the too-young marriage that led to her addiction to the "big money" of high-roller prostitution in Las Vegas. She survived a dangerous abortion, seedy silicone injections, years of pill popping, and the harassment of her abusive "old man," all on a long and hard journey down a road of self-discovery. At the end of that road, she was finally able to realize her self-worth and obtain what she wanted all along: happiness fueled by the discovery of her true sexual identity as a gay woman, which has resulted in the comfort of experiencing real love in her now twenty-two year relationship. McCormick tells her story not to titillate but to educate both women and men about the life of selling sex, and to help younger women decide not to enter prostitution, to show them that getting out is way harder than getting in, and to give hope for escape to those who've already fallen victim. She envisions changes in federal and local laws regarding the sex-trade industry as well as a place where prostituting women can find the refuge and the help they need to put their lives in order.
Recounts her life as one of five or six top call girls in Las Vegas who were part of Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack inner circle. Once known as Baby Jane, this great grandmother who lives in Vadnais Heights hopes that her story will help younger women decide not to enter prostitution and explains "that getting out is way harder than getting in."
Full of commentary by the people who knew him best, this exceptional collection of photographs showcases Frank Sinatra like never before. Nobody packed a visual punch like Frank Sinatra. With his clothes, his gestures, his posture, and even his facial expressions, Sinatra exuded a confident swagger that inspired generations. Photographs capture not only his ineffable sense of style, but also his aura of vulnerability, intensity, sexuality, and charm. Sinatra: The Photographs focuses on the decades after World War II, when he towered over the American entertainment landscape. These were the years of the Rat Pack and Las Vegas, socializing with Jack Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, and making music with Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, and Quincy Jones. Featured here is the best work by a group of photographers—Ted Allan, Bob Willoughby, Ed Thrasher, Sid Avery, and Bernie Abramson—who helped shape the public image of an immortal legend. “Andrew Howick, who helps curate and edit one of the world’s largest collections of photos of Sinatra, collects a stunning array of photographs that helped shape the singer’s persona.” —Publishers Weekly
A swindler's daughter with secrets. A federal agent determined to uncover them. And a sizzling attraction that won't be denied! From USA Today bestselling author Joanne Rock. Brianne Wolcott is ready to distance herself from her swindler stepfather when she reopens the South Beach nightclub he abandoned. As head of security for the new venture, it's her job to intercept troublemaking patrons. If only she could keep out Aidan Maddock, the too-hot FBI agent who is convinced she's hiding secrets. She is--but not the kind he imagines. Because Brianne has never shook the naughty crush she had on him when she was a teen. Aidan needs to close his case against Bri's stepfather or he wouldn't venture back into the terrain of a woman who should have always been off-limits. Unfortunately, he recalls every distracting way Brianne once tried to tempt him. And those memories short-circuit his concentration even now. But Aidan knows trouble is coming for Bri and her nightclub, and he won't allow anything--even the off-the-charts heat-- to stop him from keeping her safe. *An earlier draft of this book was published by Harlequin
