ISBN: 9780557200863 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dapharoah69 is more than erotica. Having made a name for himself with The King of Erotica and Some Men Wear Panties, surprisingly he hangs up erotica to deliver his first full novel. Many thought his first novel would be the raunchiness he's known for. Others that have compared him to the likes of E Lynn Harris and Zane figured he'd write a book similar to Zane's Addicted. He has surprised his editor, Kevin McNeir, and his fans with a haunting story of one mother's scandal and scorn as she uses her handsome son as a pawn to get back at his father. He successfully tells the story of a...
