About the Book

Robert Anthony was three months old when he was orphaned by a hit and run drunk driver that killed his parents. He lives with his maiden aunt lovingly named Bea and his dog Sam in the North part of Hollywood. Aunt Bea gave up her acting career to take care of Robert. The homey house is not too far from a couple of film studios where many actors are working. Aunt Bea made sure that Robert had fine schooling. He took acting lessons and is now a struggling and quite handsome young actor.

Aunt Bea needs money to pay off debts and he gets a job through a friend, strip dancing at the Mahogany Club where wild, rich women throw money at the dancers. He loves the dancing and the applause - “heck it’s work”. Aunt Bea didn’t know about the job. Little did Robert know that this step would change his life forever.

One night after the show, a very ambitious young woman corners Robert. She lets him know that she is the secretary to one of the top producers in television. She propositions him, if he goes to bed with her she will get him a job on her bosses TV show. After the TV work she put him together with neglected sex starved producers wives who could get him acting jobs, but they were all bits. Then one, very grateful neglected producer’s wife, knew that there was a perfect part in her husband’s oncoming movie and she took him to this sumptuous Hollywood party, where everybody was somebody. Robert got the part. He was elated and he roamed about room bumping into his ex-bed mates, sipping on drinks, floating on air as a soon to be movie star.

Then he sees this beautiful exotic child-like Arab girl, her tiny-ness emphasized, by the gigantic size if the Sheik’s guards beside her. She stares at Robert, and he returns the stare with a very star studded smile. She smiles back ‘Wow’ that does it. Remindful of the size if the guards, Robert continued his roaming, still sipping and fantasizing, when suddenly someone was at his side - the beautiful creature was pulling him into the shadows – no guards. She tells him while kissing and hugging that she was sold by her father as a child, and was groomed to be the next virgin bride. She hates the cruel, ugly, old Sheik and wishes him dead and Jasmine is her name. She vows to give her virginity only to a man she chooses and Robert is it. Robert’s fantasy was enlarging, the wine still flowed and soon, the two were making mad passionate love in Robert’s car that was parked in the parking area of the party, when the Sheik’s guards rudely interrupted them. Robert was knocked out and kidnapped.

Aunt Bea calls the police to find her missing Robert. Eight months went by and the police gave up hope ever finding him, but Aunt Bea never gave up.

The next part of the book is full of surprises, adventure. Escape, murder and an endless supply of unbelievable bizarre happenings to both Robert and Jasmine whose world of Robert, the Hollywood actor can never, ever be the same.
