Love, Lust and Conspiracy R H Politz

Publisher Marketing: Life can be terribly lonely for a young boy without friends. For most children, that's where family becomes a safe haven from the world, a place to be with others, a place to be one's true self. Kim did not have that luxury. His widowed father believed his son should be a manly warrior, strong and intimidating; that's how a real boy should grow to manhood. By the sixth grade, Kim had learned to shoot pistols and rifles but he preferred music. By the eighth grade, he had learned wrestling and self-defense but his feminine demeanor and girlish physique kept him off every school team. And, by his sophomore year of high school, his father gave up and disowned him, referring to him as a "no good sissy reject that never should have been born!" Kim was completely alone. Constantly haunted by thoughts of being pretty, of dancing, singing and playing on stage -- as a girl -- and he lived with overwhelming guilt, fear and self-hatred. At eighteen, he met Kari, a thirty year old successful businesswoman who thought no man could ever truly love her but each saw the other as the most beautifully alluring creature on Earth. Was it coincidence or fate? It didn't really matter. Sometimes, life has a way of bringing people together even if they're not the typical "boy and girl." This is one of those rare occasions when the dream of love blossoms into reality. For them, the world had just become a better place -- until, they disrupted the secret business of murderous international smugglers.
