He was clearly a man with refined manners. But I'd been around long enough to know the man I met in my doorway was never the man that'd be screwing me a few minutes later. After a word or two of small talk about his law firm, his tongue was down my throat and his arms pinned me against the wall. \"What do you want, Victoria?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe'd be shocked to know an honest answer. \u003cem\u003eWhat I want is a stack of crisp hundred-dollar bills, an eight ball of coke and a couple bottles of Chardonnay. \u003c\/em\u003eBut I learned early that when clients ask this question they mean something specific. They're looking for me to figure out what \u003cem\u003ethey\u003c\/em\u003e want. They need me to decide what'll get them off without them having to say it out loud. What I really wanted was a big life, a life the size of Texas--one of adventure and success far away from that little Ohio town my family seemed to accept without much of a fight. One that my parents said I'd never escape. But that wasn't something Howard would ever give me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough my moonlighting, I learned to figure out my clients' (often odd) desires on the fly while concealing my own dreams, secrets, and addictions. At turns comedic, tragic, gritty and erotic, \u003cem\u003eVictoria of Dallas\u003c\/em\u003e explores male desire through the stories of client encounters in vignettes after every chapter, as well as the desires of myself and how I finally learn in middle age who I really am. My memoir is inspirational and gives hope through the challenges I faced and overcame. The story takes you through my childhood in a small Ohio town to life as a Dallas call girl to life on the road and ultimately to Italy to discover what is most important to me and whom I really am.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828655796472,"sku":"9781732307605","price":46.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/WIU06Z3TBo9781732307605_10a94cf9-1a7b-405f-9d03-65f6fa5dcfe0.webp?v=1780776399","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/victoria-of-dallas-how-one-woman-learned-to-give-men-exactly-what-they-wanted-before-discovering-how-to-give-herself-exactly-what-she-needed-hardcover-1","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
