Painless follows the story of Augustus "Aug" Valentine, an
undeniably attractive tall and slender man with hazel green
eyes and a mischievous yet gorgeous smile. Aug is the
President of the Trove Import Export Company in Fort
Lauderdale. These aspects make him a ladies man. Aug
apparently has it all. What Aug lacks is a tragedy free past. The Valentine family
is riddled with death and deceit from 1980 Detroit. Moving on from his painful family history, Aug started
operating Trove. The Import Company, along with the White
Sands Bank and Destin Dreams Realty, were started in 1990
with "family" money. Normal business activity for Aug at
Trove involves the occasional smuggling of goods into and
out of the USA. Aug's romantic life has been similarly complicated. His
marriage to Laurie ended and now he wants to propose to
Jocelyn, his seductive and very liberated Jaguar saleswoman. Everything seems to be going so well with Aug's professional
and personal life until $40 million worth of smuggled
gemstones are stolen from him. Now he must recover the
jewels or die. Painless's plot is well-crafted and packed with action,
crimes, violence, love, comedy, greed, wit and irreverence.
This entertaining novel is a metaphor for the natural and
financial hurricanes slamming America. Painless is designed
to entertain you with realistic characters that live in
today's world.
