The Costa Del Sol is a paradise for many. Sun, sea, beaches and a laid-back lifestyle - no wonder it attracts so many ex-pat Brits. But for women who find themselves alone or trapped in stalled marriages, it can be a version of hell. That's where Dean Saunders comes in.The handsome 20-something Essex boy has what any man would consider a dream job. He's a gigolo, paid to put a little excitement into the night life of bored Costa Del Sol woman. For the first time, he tells his sexy story.Dean first thought of his unusual career when he was propositioned by an older lady in a bar in Marbella. The experience got him thinking and it wasn't long before he'd set up in business with a keen client base. Sometimes they wanted sex, sometimes they wanted company - sometimes they wanted both. And sometimes their husbands wanted a word with Dean. He's seen it all.The once-shy young man blossomed into an open-minded, confident Costa player and he has an inexhaustible supply of stories about great nights of passion and narrow escapes from cuckolded men who were often of the big and scary variety. He's also had encounters with well-known women who have found themselves stranded on the Costa del Sol. Indiscreet, funny and breathtakingly cheeky, you'll love the hottest star of the hottest coast. He's revealing his extraordinary life in the most outrageous memoir of the year. Meet the man the ladies will pay a fortune to be with.

2009 Choice Outstanding Academic Title A survey into an emerging pattern of labor instability and uneven global development Is job insecurity the new norm? With fewer and fewer people working in steady, long-term positions for one employer, has the dream of a secure job with full benefits and a decent salary become just that—a dream? In Nice Work If You Can Get It, Andrew Ross surveys the new topography of the global workplace and finds an emerging pattern of labor instability and uneven development on a massive scale. Combining detailed case studies with lucid analysis and graphic prose, he looks at what the new landscape of contingent employment means for workers across national, class, and racial lines—from the emerging “creative class” of high-wage professionals to the multitudes of temporary, migrant, or low-wage workers. Developing the idea of “precarious livelihoods” to describe this new world of work and life, Ross explores what it means in developed nations—comparing the creative industry policies of the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union, as well as developing countries—by examining the quickfire transformation of China’s labor market. He also responds to the challenge of sustainability, assessing the promise of “green jobs” through restorative alliances between labor advocates and environmentalists. Ross argues that regardless of one’s views on labor rights, globalization, and quality of life, this new precarious and “indefinite life,&” and the pitfalls and opportunities that accompany it is likely here to stay and must be addressed in a systematic way. A more equitable kind of knowledge society emerges in these pages—less skewed toward flexploitation and the speculative beneficiaries of intellectual property, and more in tune with ideals and practices that are fair, just, and renewable.

Sheltered from the glittering melee, it is home to many an expat – including an enterprising team who plan to open a new restaurant. Snapping up a local property and throwing themselves into preparations, Theresa, Carol, William and Benjamin's plans are proceeding unnervingly well. But when Theresa encounters a mysterious intruder, she begins to wonder what secrets the building is concealing. Meanwhile Sally, an actress who gave up the stage to live in quiet anonymity, has decided not to be involved. The famous Cannes Film Festival is on and she is far too busy entertaining unexpected visitors from her past, and an intriguingly handsome Russian. As the razzmatazz of the festival begins to spill over into Bellevue-Sur-Mer, its inhabitants become entangled in complex love triangles and conflicting business interests. With the race on to get the restaurant open in time, the gang find themselves knee-deep in skulduggery, and realise they can no longer tell who's nasty ... and who's nice. ___________________ Praise for the Nice series...
