Once upon a time, in a little Texas town in the middle of nowhere, there lived a boy who everyone called ugly... When half your face is covered in a big, blotchy birthmark, you get used to the staring and the whispers. You get used to feeling unwanted. Until he walks into my bar... Tall, gorgeous, and all kinds of out of place. And the way he looks at me ain't like no way I've ever seen before. Does he mean it when he says he wants to take me away from here? Nobody's ever wanted me around for long. Can I believe Barrett when he says that's what he wants? Something about the word Daddy on my lips makes it all seem possible. Even if I don't really believe anyone would want to keep an ugly boy like me forever... *** Pretty Boy is a low-ish angst, steamy, sweet Daddy story with NO age play.

THE EPIC LIFE OF PRETTY BOY FLOYD Charles Pretty Boy Floyd became the FBI's most wanted man in America. A depression era young man out of the Oklahoma Hill country decided he no longer wanted to work as a field hand and common laborer. Everywhere in the Dirty 30s, men, and in one case, women (Bonnie Parker) had decided to use a gun to get what they wanted, and so did Charley. His first real job was that of robbing the Kroger Company Payroll Office where one of the women there described him as being "Just a mere boy—a pretty boy." The name stuck and from then on that is what the newspapers called him. His good looks didn't hurt with the ladies either and he ended up with both a wife and girlfriend clear up to the time of his death. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a personal vendetta against what he considered the scourge of the land and set his main Agent, Melvin Purvis to take down the most notorious of them, beginning with Johnny Dillinger who was ambushed outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago, thus moving Pretty Boy to the top of the list.

In this inclusive, illustrated history and guide to skin care and beauty, journalist and founder of Very Good Light David Yi teaches us that self-care, wellness, and feeling beautiful transcends time, boundaries, and binaries—and that pretty boys can change the world Chanel and Goop might have seemed ahead of the curve when they launched their men’s beauty and wellness lines, but pharaohs were exfoliating, moisturizing, and masking eons earlier. Thousands of years before Harry Styles strutted down the red carpet with multicolored fingernails, Babylonian army officials had their own personal manicure sets. And BTS might have become an international sensation for their smoky eyes and perfect pouts, but the Korean Hwarang warriors who put on a full face before battle preceded them by centuries. Pretty Boys unearths diverse and surprising beauty icons who have redefined what masculinity and gender expression look like throughout history, to empower us to live and look our truths. Whether you're brand new to beauty, or you already have a ten-step routine, Pretty Boys will inspire and teach you how to find your best self through tutorials, beauty secrets, and advice from the biggest names in the beauty industry, Hollywood, and social media. From Frank Ocean’s skin-care routine to Clark Gable’s perfectly styled hair, Rami Malek’s subtle eyeliner to a face beat to the gods à la Boy George or Kimchi the drag queen, K-Beauty to clean beauty, Pretty Boys will completely change the way we all see gender expression and identity.

He wants me to give in, to let my guard down and face my feelings for once. At least, that's what that wicked look in his eyes and the mounting heat between us suggests. This isn't how I imagined being roommates would go. But a girl can only stare temptation in its green eyes for so long and not weaken. My best friend wants to have his way with me and, right or wrong... I think I might let him. *** Pretty Boy D is a full-length standalone novel.

The time is 1925. The place, St. Louis, Missouri. Charley Floyd, a good-looking, sweet-smiling country boy from Oklahoma, is about to rob his first armored car. Written by Pulitzer Prize–winner Larry McMurtry and his writing partner, Diana Ossana, Pretty Boy Floyd traces the wild career of the legendary American folk hero Charley Floyd, a young man so charming that it's hard not to like him, even as he's robbing you at gunpoint. From the bank heists and shootings that make him Public Enemy Number One to the women who love him, from the glamour-hungry nation that worships him to the G-men who track Charley down, Pretty Boy Floyd is both a richly comic masterpiece and an American tragedy about the price of fame and the corruption of innocence.

"This engaging biography exactly and vividly catches the tone of a region, a time, and a man."—Larry McMurtry From the best-selling author of Billy the Kid and Route 66, a true-life story of a notorious outlaw that magnificently re-creates the vanished, impoverished world of Dust Bowl America. Michael Wallis evokes the hard times of the era as he follows the life of Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd from his coming of age, when there were no jobs and no food, to his descent into a life of petty crime, bootlegging, murder, and prison. Before long he was one of the FBI's original "public enemies." After a series of spectacular bank robberies he was slain in an Ohio field in 1934 at the age of thirty. Pretty Boy is social history at its best, portraying, with a sweeping style, the larger story of the hardscrabble farmers whose lives were so intolerably shattered by the Depression.
