FOREWORD
Wouldn’t it be great to be rich? And young? and gorgeous? To leave behind all the problems of survival, the worry about the rent and groceries and, God forbid, an unexpected emergency that strains the budget beyond the bursting point?
Rich is nice, without all those insecurities that pester the rest of us. No problems, no worries, nothing but silk sheets and Dom Perignon with Beluga caviar!
Or is it?
The rich have worries, too, but different worries from ours. Somebody trying to take some of it away from them—oh, just a little bit that they won’t ever really miss. Or others, trying to work themselves into the picture, the hangers-on, the lackies, the also-rans around the outer fringes of their lives, or sometimes, if they’re lucky and smart, they can get right in there, if they’re attractive enough, or witty enough, or daring enough.
The rich are such available targets for the adventurous, for the scheming, for the greedy and conniving who prefer the gamble of life to the drudgery of trying to make their own riches.
The con man, the manipulator, the blackmailer, the kidnapper, all these seek out the rich, the opportunity, the possibility of making their one ‘big score’, their one chance to use another or a group of others, perverting their own intelligence and ingenuity to take that which another or group of others has made—sometimes inherited, thereby acting as guardians—and sometimes achieved, on their own terms as the manipulator, the blackmailer, the kidnapper, now seeks to take away.
But, to be rich, to be young, and to be gorgeous, and the target of predators, vulnerable, accessible, the bull’s-eye in their target, up for grabs, must be at least as painful as not having next month’s rent, the money for that pair of shoes to replace the ones with holes in both soles.
To be, simply because of having money, subjected to the will of others who want to take that money from you, to subjugate and humiliate you for their own gain, must leave deep and painful scars that perhaps all the rest of time left one cannot heal completely.
This book is about such people, the rich, the unscrupulous, the greedy, the mentally and morally unattractive, and the ordinary who, like us, have to worry about the rent and the groceries and a new pair of shoes before those we’re wearing fall apart on our feet. A young man, heir to a vast Italian fortune and a considerable American one, becomes prey to the manipulators, the con men, the blackmailers, the kidnappers, and it takes one of the ordinary folk, one of the non-rich, the worriers, the paid-to-do-his-job simple men, to face the problem, judge it, and try to straighten it out.
But, still, even after reading the pages to come, won’t you still think it would be great to be rich? To be young? To be gorgeous?

Synopsis by Eric Boyd
Giampier Rossi had everything: money, looks, a beautiful body—even a mammoth piece of meat between his legs. And though he may have been nearing twenty, he still looked very much like a boy and was still very much a virgin. Not that he wasn’t desperate to rectify that—particularly with Devon, the young stud giving him tennis lessons. But more sinister forces had their eye on Giampier, too, and when he’s kidnapped by two hunky brutes who blindfold him and tie him up, it’s their mysterious boss who ultimately has the pleasure of deflowering the sexy kid. Then his two captors take their turns as well. Again and again. Giampier’s mother, and her hunky new husband Duncan, only ten years older than her son, are desperate for his return. So Duncan agrees to make the ransom drop. For it seems Duncan desires the boy even more than he does his mother—maybe too much!
