Henry Lewis Nixon was a pseudonym for Dr. Herbert Leon Newbold (1921–1994), a psychiatrist and self-proclaimed dietician who advocated his namesake diet in several non-fiction books. In addition to his “sleazy” Nixon-penned novels (The Golden Couch, Confessions of a Psychiatrist, etc) he also wrote the “erotic novel” Dr. Cox’s Couch under his own name.

Decades before The Love Boat and Dr. Odyssey, there was Ship's Doctor, lost for nearly 70 years.
Dr. Richard Williams has been married twice, drinks too much, and is seeking escape from his miserable life by spending three months as the medical officer on a cruise ship. But once he is at sea, he finds himself plunged into a raging storm of lust, betrayal and danger when he falls for an alluring passenger with a dark secret.
Love means everything to Jacqueline Shannon. But her husband is too old, and too tired, meet her raging lust...so she turns to other men. But even that is not enough. She's driven by a seething, emotional hunger that has tortured her all of her life. It drove one lover away, another to brand her as insane, and another to violence, physical and psychological, against her. And now her morbid love-frenzy, a woman trapped by the desperate demands of her body, could destroy her.
