Book Cover & Preview Text
"Go away, will you...whoever you are, get out." Sly’s body system went cold as he saw Precious. "Precious, what do you want? ...I thought you’re supposed to be in the hospital?" "Sly, while I was bleeding to death at the hospital from the injuries you inflicted on me, with your own baby I’m carrying, you’re here shamelessly making love to another woman in our matrimonial bed." "Go to hell, Precious; leave my life alone; I don’t need you in my life." "So, Miss Thing...you thought money and Hollywood movie contracts could buy you a man like Sly as husband, eh? ...Wrong ...Sly belongs to me and I do whatever I like with him... Now if you’ll excuse us, C’mon, make me come." Precious stood there with tears in her eyes, dazed as she stared at them. "I can’t take this any more. If this is what life is all about, I don’t want to live any more," she said sorrowfully. "Then drop dead," said Sly meanly. "You think she has the guts...those kind of people only talk of death but are afraid to face death." C’mon loud mouth, ...let’s see you drop dead if you’re really tired of living... Didi laughed "Or do you want me to teach you?" asked Didi mockingly. Curtis, Mrs. Koby and Mrs. Santino, who was carrying little Precious, were in the hospital room waiting for Precious to return, when the door swung open. Dr. Willy rushed in. "Curtis what’s happening? ...Why did you people allow Precious to leave without my permission?" "What are you talking about, Doctor? Leave to where?" asked Curtis. "One of my young doctors just informed me that she saw Precious enter a cab." "What?" yelled Mrs. Koby.

About the Book
Enter the twilight world of Hollywood, a world built on illusion, fantasy and passion ... a world where everything and everyone has a price. From the tender and innocent LaKita and Precious, to the man-eater "Gift" who vainly seeks to heal a lifetime of hurt by making men pay for what others give for free. Beautiful young and sexy females are recruited from the college campuses and other hot stops all over America. Often plied with drugs, alcohol, and the lure of non-stop shopping in the luxurious boutiques in Beverly Hills, New York, London, and Paris, with a long list of bogus movie contracts, record deals, and modeling contracts that never came, these once innocent babes become hardcore call girls. There are many snares in which to trap them, including the HANGING OF AN EIGHT-MONTH OLD PREGNANT WOMAN. Meet "High-Rollers" Phila-Mojo, Mr."Dollars", and the flamboyant Crown Prince - members of an exclusive club, a loose affiliation of millionaires on the prowl for tender flesh, an "arm trophy". A little affection, a lot of attention but sadly love is not an option. The down and out Sly comes to learn that love does have a price, and Precious learns that the cost of true love is dear, and the end result, tragedy. Set against the backdrop of Southern California during one of the worst heat waves of the 20th century, lives meet and you can never tell if you are on the set of a movie or in real time. In a very fascinating world where nothing is left to chance, there are no free lunches and those who dare to love, pay the price.
