Sexuality in the 21st century is the connecting thematic thread that runs through this 359-page novel, yet eroticism is certainly not the core. A spellbinding story is. Nat Goldman, age 29, drives a limo at an upscale residential hotel in scenic La Jolla, California. Extremely handsome and personable, Nat privately aspires to write a novel that will make the world a better place—and apparently has the brains to do it—but lacks the discipline to start his book and the willpower to refuse sex from lovely, sensual females. This colorful narrative follows him for several months during his quarter-life crisis beginning in the autumn of 2000. A parallel story covers the romantic relationship between a charming older man with a hidden identity and his gorgeous nurse from Argentina who live in this same hotel. An incident 19 years ago in the personal history of the older man causes the lives of the two male characters to climactically converge in the later chapters, suddenly changing it to a suspenseful thriller. This tale contains the required features of any great novel. After you've finished the last page, you’ll agree it’s among the best stories you’ve ever read… and one you’ll never forget. This is a revision of "La Jolla Story; Part One."
