It is not an easy life for an English juggler in Twelfth Century Spain. Survival means juggling, not only his knives, but dancing nimbly between the clash of cultures of the sophisticated Moors who conquered the land centuries earlier, the Christians who stubbornly fight to take back Spain, and the inscrutable Jews who have made a home there for over a millennium. Despite their irreconcilable differences the collision of the three cultures would produce Europe's highest civilization at the time and arguably the most preeminent in the world. When fate thrusts upon an itinerant juggler a secret that can change the world all three great cultures will stop at nothing to possess it. Will the street skills and cleverness acquired from a life on the road be enough for the juggler to accomplish his sworn mission and remain free?

Denny crushed Jenn’s first love interest when he showed up with a cheerleader at the creamery where she works. To get her revenge, she ‘borrows’ his truck and disappears across state lines. She wakes in a library parking lot, where Felisha Mutombo, the librarian, takes Jenn in and adopts her. Felisha’s unique sexual proclivities open new horizons for Jenn. First, she’s transformed into Clarice, the new ‘it’ girl in her high school. She and her posse negotiate the complex territory of erotica. But on entering University, she’s expelled during her first year for a sexual dance with a handsome ballet dancer. She absconds with her scholarship money to India, where monks invite her to a Tantric monastery, and her sexual curiosity becomes her spiritual path to erotic mastery. Sister Padma suggests Clarice train with Doyama, a Kinbaku adept, in the red-light district of Tokyo. There she discovers her true power when the teacher becomes her student. He persuades her to learn the business, sending her to Hong Kong to meet the slippery businessman Wing Lau. Together, Wing and Clarice build a sampan business, indulging the desires of wealthy men and women. But the Triad has their number, making them a target for takeover. To escape the gangster sex traffickers, Clarice and her people board the Siren, a freighter gifted to her by a Greek lover. From port to port across the South China Sea and beyond, they bring joy wherever they go, leaving their customers hungry for more. Clarice’s journey of discovery leads to a Juggler’s Choice: will she escape the sex trade and become a hotelier or indulge her kinky fantasies forever?
