There aren't many rules that gorgeous glamour model Bella Steele hasn't broken. However, there is one she's always observed: best friends should never compete for men, jobs, or real estate. When Maya Lin, the stunning Asian beauty Bella took under her wing when she began modeling, is named the Penthouse Pet of the Month, Bella's rule is challenged: the two friends find themselves rivals for the title of ultimate sex bomb – Pet of the Year. It's a trophy Bella's always wanted, and she's not about to take this challenge lying down. Maya has a few tricks up her garter herself, and New York City will never be the same as these sultry sirens face off at its hottest clubs and photo ops. Meanwhile, Sophie Steele, Bella's younger sister, leaves the world of professional poker to reclaim her dominance in the banking world – a decision that threatens her relationship with her boyfriend, Tai. And the only way into her dream job at a hot new hedge fund is through former frenemy Regina Chase. Regina has spent most of her time since moving to New York looking for love in all the wrong places. She longs for Sophie's breezy, confident style—can she unleash her own wild side by joining the erotic after-hours scene?

This exploration of rock ’n’ roll music and culture in Birmingham, Alabama, is based on the oral histories of musicians, their fans and professionals in the popular music industry. Collected over a twenty-year period, their stories describe the coming of rock ’n’ roll in the 1950s, the rise of the garage bands in the 1960s, of southern rock in the 1970s, and of alternative music in the 1980s and 1990s. Told in the words of the musicians themselves, Magic City Nights provides an insider’s view of the dramatic changes in the business and status of popular music from the era of the vacuum tube to twenty-first-century digital technology. These collective memories offer a unique perspective on the impact of a subversive and racially integrated music culture in one of the most conservative and racially divided cities in the country.

"The poetry of Robert Yates is both brooding and exacting; something about it unnerves us, it sees too clearly into things: the dystopian vacuity of modern life, our shared language doomed to a series of dull clucks and futile gestures.
