The Hop : a novel / by Clarke, Diana,author.;
"The story of a poor scrappy girl from rural New Zealand who grows reluctantly into a sex icon, the face of a movement, and a mother, all at the same time. Kate Burns grows up wanting attention from her Ma, but her Ma wants only money and Kate learns how to get both. She and her childhood friend, Lacey, run kissing lessons for cash in the janitor's closet of Fenbrook High, and just like that, they find themselves in the sex work industry. From there, they go on to work at The Purple Panther, a strip club in Auckland. When Ma dies of cancer, Kate discovers that the men her Ma was always inviting over to their home were, in fact, clients. Ma was no stranger to sex work either. Following in Ma's footsteps, Kate heads to Nevada where she picks up a job at America's most prestigious brothel: The Hop. In her new life as a Bunny, Kate searches for an identity she can perform -- the other Bunnies include a goth, a housewife, a cheerleader, a rebel, not to mention Betty, a trans beauty queen, Mia, a Japanese cosplayer, and Rain, a dominatrix. Kate becomes Lady Lane. The girls at The Hop are more fantasy than fact, and performance is always more perfect than the real. Kate is a natural and quickly rises through the ranks to become the bestselling Bunny and the owner, Daddy's favorite. But when ten street hookers are killed in a nearby city, just bodies with no names, Lady joins her sister Bunnies in mourning and begins to see things in a new light. Lady's success breeds scandal and unwanted fame, deeply affecting her, transforming her life and The Hop forever. Diana Clarke's provocative second novel is subversive in the very best way, an unforgettable work of fiction with a radical message about women that couldn't be more important." --

Hidden Palms: A Butch Bliss Novel. by Bryant, Harry.(CARDINAL)489476;
"Once upon a time, Robert "Butch" Bliss was a rising star in the adult film entertainment industry. He had talent. Everyone said he was on his way up. But he went down instead. Down for a load of cocaine that wasn't his, in a car that wasn't his either. Bliss is sentenced to five years at the state correctional facility in Tehachapi, where he gets five more years following an unfortunate incident in the prison shower. Ten years is a long time. Ten years can do a lot to sour a man, especially when he's been dealt a round like Bliss. After he gets out of prison, what's an ex-con, ex-porn star to do? Well, favors, for one. No, not those kinds of favors. When an old associate asks him to fetch a forgotten film star from a posh resort north of LA, Bliss takes the job, thinking it'll be an easy after noon's worth of work. Before the weekend is over, though, he's juggling rogue DEA agents, crazy bikers, and a double degree-welding druglord. And it all has something to do with a secret hidden at Hidden Palms..."

Whore of New York : a confession / by Roux, Liara,author.;
Why would someone ever voluntarily become a sex worker? Liara Roux writes about the salacious details leading up to her decision to become a career sex worker, and the unexpected truths she learned while working in the industry.Liara Roux is accustomed to being mislabelled and misunderstood. As a child, Liara's inquisitive, instinctive, and rebellious nature was frequently problematised in a world designed around the requirements of their neurotypical, cis, heterosexual male colleagues. Coming of age in an oppressively restrictive home, they shuffled tarot and explored self portraiture to rationalise the injustice of chronic pain, toxic lovers, and the cruel silence of divinity. Critiquing capitalism's mechanisms of exploitation, the conservatism of Western medicine, and the politics surrounding sex work, Whore of New York: Confessions of a Sinful Woman is a candid study of artistic awakening, and both spiritual and sexual growth after abuse, seen through the eyes of a proud outsider.

Just by looking at him / by O'Connell, Ryan,1986-author.;
"From the first line of Just by Looking at Him, you'll know this story is so much more than boy meets boy. First, there's the humor. Elliot is a writer who spends his days navigating the back stabbing, the pressure, and the day to day snark of writing aggressively average television. In laugh out loud detail, we're immediately with him on his journey to try to get his lines onto the screen. But there's a deeper, and more poignant, story beating at the heart of this would be rom com. Instead of the usual boy meets boy, the person you really fall in love, the one you're rooting for until the end, is the protagonist himself. As a gay man with cerebral palsy, Elliot has always searched for the one, and he thought he found that person in Gus, his doting boyfriend. And yet, he can't seem to stop cheating. Elliot falls into a rabbit hole of sex, drinking, and addiction, and ultimately learns that the person he truly needs to learn to accept is himself. As incisive commentary on gay life today, a heart centered, laugh out loud exploration of self and a rare insight into life as a person with disabilities who refuses to be a victim, critics and readers alike will fall in love with this story"--

Dangerous encounter/ by Edwards,Riley,author.;
Sloane Ellis has a secret-actually, she has many. Working in a sex club wasn't part of her life plan, yet neither was her best friend vanishing without a trace. The club and her missing friend go hand and hand. One secret leads to another until the lies pile up. After months of working in the club her friend frequented, Sloane's no closer to finding answers, the police have no leads, and time is quickly running out. The last thing Sloane needs is the newest member of Club Joi, Adam Newcomb complicating her mission and stealing her heart. Yet with one kiss, she falls. But you know what they say about secrets-they have a way of coming out, and when they do, Sloane's life crumbles for the second time-this time destroying her chances of a happily ever after with the man she loves. Working undercover is old hat for Asher Noble. This assignment should be no different, hell, it wasn't any different until he met Sloane Ellis, event coordinator for Club Joi. She's hiding something, but so is Asher. She does her job with a smile, but there's an underlying sadness mixed with disgust. She has less interest in working in a sex club than Asher has watching the nightly performances. There's no room for distractions when a young woman's life and freedom is on the line, yet a kiss changes everything. A kiss that never should've happened. A kiss that leads a man pretending to be someone else to risk everything to protect the woman he's fallen for. Sloane Ellis must decide if she can trust Asher Noble when she realizes he's not who he pretended to be. Asher must save the woman he loves from disappearing into the same nightmare world as her best friend. Together, they must stop a monster before he claims more lives.
