Larissa Morley is already rich beyond reason, but buying the Honky Tonk beer joint is her dream come true-until a rich teetotaler tries to take it away from her. If any dime-store cowboy thinks he's going to get the best of Larissa-or her Honky Tonk-then he's got another thing coming… If Hank Wells thinks he can dig up dirt on the new owner of the Honky Tonk beer joint for his employer, he's got no idea what kind of trouble he's courting. The two face off like a longhorn bull looking at a red tablecloth, and their big clash ends up having less to do with everybody's favorite beer joint and everything to do with the fiery attraction between the hard-headed lovers.

Of all the thousands of stories he had written across his lifetime, author and journalist William John Stapleton had never been happier to write the words &quot;The End&quot; than when he completed The Twilight Soi series with the short book &quot;Bangkok Busted: You Go To Jail For Sure&quot;.<br><br>The series began in an anguished state after the author wrote a book detailing the decline of Bangkok&#39;s famous strip of go-go boy bars known as Soi Twilight, a narrow street adjacent to Bangkok&#39;s oldest red light district Patpong and telling the deeply personal, embarrassing and hurtful story of being ripped off by one of the streets better known denizens.<br><br>Much had changed in the two years since he began the series.<br><br>The writer finally got his pet project, A Sense of Place Publishing off the ground and finally settled in his current city of choice, Bangkok.<br><br>But one thing that did not change was the vengeful pursuit of those who did not want to succeed.The book exposes routine robbery of tourists, issuing of death threats to those who did not voluntarily walk away after being stolen from and the tentacles of corruption that ran up and down from the colourful neon lit strip known as Soi Twilight.

The unique enterprise A Sense Of Place Publishing has just released its newest publication, Bangkok Busted: You Die For Sure. This is a deeply personal story by author William John Stapleton on the fallout after he wrote a book about being robbed, lied to and deceived by one of the city&#39;s go-go boys and the subsequent personal distress and widespread public ridicule he endured.<br><br>Few foreigners are crazy brave or stupidly insane enough to tell their often embarrassing and humiliating stories of falling for the practiced love lies peddled to them by Thai sex workers.<br><br>Such stories have resulted on the heterosexual side of the ledger in books such as My Private Dancer and Confessions of a Bangkok Private Eye. In the author&#39;s case he wrote The Twilight Soi, a book which made him a reviled figure by the Thai public who swallowed the lie that the book was an insult to Thailand, to its culture and to its sex workers. It is not and was never intended to be any such thing.<br><br>&quot;Most people in Asia cannot imagine why anybody would write a story admitting to their own stupidity and misguided conduct in falling for the &#39;I love you very much I miss you very much&#39; patter of their prostitutes, either male or female,&quot; Stapleton says. &quot;For a start, I first wrote the Twilight Soi and now Bangkok Busted: You Die For Sure because painters paint, builders build and writers write, and that&#39;s what do.<br><br>&quot;The story I related is so bizarre that I would not have believed it if it had not happened to me. The Thais were outraged that a foreigner as imperfect as myself should object to being robbed, cheated and publicly ridiculed. But I wanted to tell this story partly because I did not want what happened to me to happen to anyone else.<br><br>&quot;These men often make easy prey. They are lonely, they are out of their own comfort zones and away from the spying eyes of friends, family and work colleagues, often are without obligations of work or children for the first time in their lives, and run off the rails in the torrid atmosphere of Asia and its bars. They often enough end up suiciding.&quot;
