Three scandalous, passionate, daring novels by Henry Lewis Nixon.
THE BAWDY MRS. GREY
She Had the Body of an Angel…and the Soul of a Devil.
Kitty Grey is a young, conniving private nurse who married her much-older patient — a rich, pudgy, hotel magnate in poor health who was desperate for a wife. She loves his money, his mansion and his servants, but he can’t satisfy her raging, physical needs…and she’s not willing to wait until he dies to to get what she wants. So she seduces Mike Callahan, an ex-GI with a criminal past, and convinces her husband to hire him as their driver, creating a deadly triangle of passion, betrayal and greed.
In 1959, a Cleveland delicatessen owner was arrested on obscenity charges for sellng this book… but the charges were dropped when the D.A. couldn’t prove the man was aware of the content of the novels sold in his shop, which were stocked and managed by a book distributor. This novel, racy and scandalous in its day, is tame by today’s standards…and has been out of print for over sixty years.
SHIP’S DOCTOR
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.
NAKED DESIRE
The intimate story of a woman uncontrollably driven by naked desire…back in print for the first time in over 60 years!
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.
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.
