Der exklusivste Club von New York. Zutritt nur mit persönlicher Einladung. Traust du dich? Dieser Sammelband beinhaltet Band 1 - "Black Orchid - Unlimited Sin" - und Band 3 - "Black Orchid - Dark Needs". "Black Orchid - Unlimited Sin" Als neuer Kanzleipartner darf Farell Undsworth sich über einen außergewöhnlichen Bonus freuen – ein Probemonat im „Black Orchid“. Der Club verspricht seinen ausgewählten Mitgliedern grenzenlose sinnliche Erfahrungen für Körper und Geist. Eigentlich perfekt, um seine Neigungen zu erforschen. Wäre da nicht diese unwiderstehliche Versuchung mit den talentierten Händen, die ihm nicht mehr aus dem Kopf geht. Nie zuvor hat Vivica Brabston so heftig auf einen Mann reagiert und ihn erst beim zweiten Treffen berührt, auf beruflicher Ebene. Sich mit ihm einzulassen, könnte sie ihren Job kosten, es muss bei den Massagen bleiben. Oder gibt es einen anderen Weg, der wachsenden Begierde freien Lauf zu lassen? "Black Orchid - Dark Needs" Sie würde alles tun, um ihn für sich zu gewinnen. Sogar ihre Grenzen überschreiten. Harper Donelly mag ihren neuen Nebenjob als Kellnerin im Red Rooster, besonders wegen dieses mysteriösen Typen, der in ihr Fantasien von Dominanz und Unterwerfung anfacht. Doch so fremd diese Gefühle sind, sie kann dem heftigen Knistern zwischen ihnen kaum widerstehen. Auch nicht dem Abenteuer, das er ihr verspricht – lustvoll, klar geregelt und leider unverbindlich. Dies ist eine Einladung zur exklusiven Silvesterparty im Black Orchid. Traust du dich?

Tiggys dream of becoming a barrister and Hans plan to receive his doctorate are quickly fading. As Hans leaves for Germany after being conscripted, he realizes their friendship might never be the same. Tiggy, feeling compelled to defend the crown, joins the London Light Infantry where he excels as a sniper in World War I and is eventually captured by the Germans. Meanwhile, Hans completes express doctorate training and is sent to serve at a field hospital in France. The lives of the two friends reconnect in a way neither of them thought possible. Based on real-life events, Legends of the Black Orchid follows Tiggy and Hans through World War I and the start of World War II. It depicts how circumstances and the influences of the Black Orchid, a society formed by the royal families of Europe, bring them together as one, ultimately making them part of an exclusive intelligence unit that becomes the platform on which the British and American governments form a cooperative base for espionage.

She has a ride home with Irish actor Jack Winter - notorious womanizer and all round bad boy. Abbie is shaken to the core by Winter's blazing beauty and provocative mind. After the plane's nose-dive into the remote rainforest forces them to fight for survival, Abbie catches tantalizing glimpses of the complicated man behind the image. And the more she sees of him, the more he touches some primal part of her that she is determined to suppress. But after a devastating encounter with Winter's shadow side, Abbie's detachment is shattered. On returning to normal life, Abbie cannot forget what happened, nor ignore the shocking rumours about the star's private life. Her struggle to make sense of her torment leads straight back to Winter, who is just as obsessed by her. But if they are to have a relationship, Abbie knows she must embrace his hidden desires ... and accept her own. No longer caring about anything but their intoxicating love affair, Abbie is drawn deeper into the dark heart of Winter - and the secret that threatens to destroy everything . . .

In the early 1960s, pianist Horace Tapscott gave up a successful career in Lionel Hampton’s band and returned to his home in Los Angeles to found the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, a community arts group that focused on providing community-oriented jazz and jazz training. Over the course of almost forty years, the Arkestra, together with the related Union of God’s Musicians and Artists Ascension collective, was at the forefront of the vital community-based arts movement in Black Los Angeles. Some three hundred artists—musicians, vocalists, poets, playwrights, painters, sculptors, and graphic artists—passed through these organizations, many ultimately remaining within the community and others moving on to achieve international fame. In The Dark Tree, Steven L. Isoardi draws on one hundred in-depth interviews with the Arkestra’s participants to tell the history of the important and largely overlooked community arts movement of Black Los Angeles. This revised and updated edition brings the story of the Arkestra up to date, as its ethos and aesthetic remain vital forces in jazz and popular music to this day.

Tjader left behind a legacy and a labyrinth of influence, attested by his large audience and innovation that would change the course of jazz.

Bluestone Rondo is a racial Cain and Abel story set to a score of jazz, obsession, and revenge. In 1927, a black tenant farmer’s wife gives birth to unusual twins—one is dark and one is light enough to pass for white. Growing up to learn that color is worth more than brotherhood in the Jim Crow South, they fall into a trap that was set for them by generations of racial discord. After a violent fight, Joe disappears and Calvin is convicted for his murder. As Calvin’s life takes a downward turn, Joe basks in the bright lights of New York as a successful white Jazz singer on 52nd Street. After marrying Magda, the blue-eyed girl of his dreams, his fear of exposure takes a turn for the irrational. The entertainment industry is in a cold-sweat panic over Joseph McCarthy’s Blacklist, and Joe feels threatened by the non-stop radio reports of blacklisted witnesses “naming names.” He is unable to break the moth-and-flame hold of black trumpet player Doc Calhoun and his unforgettable wife Pearl, a paradox of wisdom and heroin addiction. And Joe begins to see his brother in the shadows. Bluestone Rondo is a story of life-and-death choices—a Jazz masterpiece of love and hate that leads to two volatile plot twists and one fatal showdown.
