His daughter's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Alec lies dying in a Paris hospital of what will come to be known as AIDS, Emily tries on and inherits his cape of seduction and trade. Smooth Hard follows their separate, converging paths of curiosity and deception across a generation, through the light of self-discovery and into the dark shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiction starts like a poem-with an urgent emotion, idea, truth, or inspiration. L. I. ter Meulen has found her novel's beginnings in issues of lust, desire, and promiscuity that may, or may not, be coupled with love and affection. Often, stories focused on sex and eroticism feature a narrowly defined sexual theme acted out by one-dimensional characters. Smooth Hard introduces a tapestry of characters whose exploits, explorations, and experimentation with love and sensuality intersect in surprising ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 188\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.43 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 20, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42703086649407,"sku":"9780578255873","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/3fe179ccc1ef118f2f5a111e43004ef3.webp?v=1765027643","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/smooth-hard-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
