Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An incredible collection of celebrity stories and photographs from 1934 to the present, from the archives of "The Lyons Den" by eminent New York Post columnist Leonard Lyons, compiled by his son, movie critic Jeffrey Lyons. This amazing collection of choice anecdotes takes us right back to the Golden Age of New York City nightlife, when top restaurants like Toots Shor’s, “21,” and Sardi’s, as well as glittering nightclubs like the Stork Club, Latin Quarter, and El Morocco, were the nightly gathering spots for great figures of that era: movie and Broadway stars, baseball players, champion boxers, comedians, diplomats, British royalty, prize-winning authors, and famous painters. From Charlie Chaplin to Winston Churchill, from Ethel Barrymore to Sophia Loren, from George Burns to Ernest Hemingway, from Joe DiMaggio to the Duke of Windsor: Leonard Lyons knew them all. For forty glorious years, from 1934 to 1974, he made the daily rounds of Gotham nightspots, collecting the exclusive scoops and revelations that were at the core of his famous newspaper column, “The Lyons Den.” In this entertaining volume Jeffrey Lyons has assembled a considerable compilation of anecdotes from his father’s best columns, and has also contributed a selection of his own interviews with stars of today, including Penélope Cruz and George Clooney, among others. Organized chronologically by decade and subdivided by celebrity, Stories My Father Told Me offers fascinating, amusing stories that are illustrated by approximately seventy photographs. He so captured the tenor of those exciting times that the great Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg said: “Imagine how much richer American history would have been had there been a Leonard Lyons in Lincoln’s time.”

Belle likes to think herself immune to the dizzying effects of wealth. But when her best friend, Summer, invites her on a glamorous getaway to the Mediterranean aboard her billionaire boyfriend's yacht, the only sensible answer is yes. Once she's aboard the luxurious Lion's Den, it soon becomes clear that this jet-setting holiday is not as advertised. Belle's dream vacation quickly devolves into a nightmare as she and the other girls Summer invited are treated more like prisoners than guests by their vicious host. Belle is going to have to keep her wits about her—and her own big secret closely hidden—if she wants to make it off this yacht alive.

Welcome to the world of THE LYON'S DEN: The Black Widow of Whitehall Connected World, where the underground of Regency London thrives... and loves. It was their first kiss, possibly her first kiss ever. All the more reason to get it right. Abandoned at the altar by her groom in favor of her younger sister, Miss Madeline Keyes has become an object of pity, scorn and scandal. Rather than flee to the countryside to rusticate as a spinster with her less than loving parents, she seeks the aid of Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon to snare a titled husband and, through marriage, reclaim her place in society. Lord Oliver Easton, Earl of Foxmore, has always preferred plants to people. As a younger son, he had no expectations of marriage. But with the loss of both his father and brother in a very short span of time, the death taxes levied on the estate leave him at risk of losing his life's work. So he does the only sensible thing and takes his brother's place in the matchmaking scheme helmed by the owner of the Lyon's Den. It was supposed to be a marriage of convenience only. A chance to rescue her reputation and his fortunes. But neither of them expected the ultimate complication--to fall in love.

Book excerpt: Lieutenant Stuart Lyons is a single father and a well-respected veteran law enforcement officer. In addition, he serves as head of security at the ever-popular New Hope Church in Atlanta, GA and above all, he loves the Lord. When sudden pandemonium strikes his "normal" life and he begins receiving threats from an unknown person who only identifies himself as "Dr. A.H. Satan," Stuart's life is turned upside down. This faceless stalker seems to know everything about Stuart: where he lives, where he works, where he worships, who his friends are and, most unsettling of all, that he has a son whom he adores. A series of disturbing events sends the Dekalb County Police Department into over-drive, trying to find the recently released, elusive madman who is now suspected of seeking long-awaited revenge on the officer who was responsible for putting him behind bars. Bizarre happenings—some explainable, and others that yet remain mysteries—have been known to find their way into the lives of many of the residents of the infamous Shelton Heights subdivision, and apparently, it's now Stuart's turn. Will his faith and the prayers of the righteous help put an end to his distress, or will the Legend of Shelton Heights swallow him whole?

These are the guidelines that every author who has written in the world has gone by. Here's the scandalous and sexy world of The Lyon's Den: Regency London: Rich women with scandalous reputations pay the Black Widow of Whitehall to find them wealthy husbands from her gambling den on the West End. The Black Widow of Whitehall is Mrs. Bessie Dove-Lyon and her gambling establishment is called the Lyon's Den, a front for the rather ruthless matchmaking service. She takes an 'order' from a wealthy woman and then targets the men who come into her establishment, rating them on their viability. If they meet her standards, she will coerce them into the marriage contracts by rigging the games they are playing. The Lyon's Den isn't a usual gambling establishment - they bet on odd things, like drinking liquor that's been mildly poisoned to see who passes out first, or feeding gluttons too much to see who will vomit first. There are traditional games, but it's more known for its odd and sometimes ruthless games. Because there are high stakes to be paid out, it lures some of London's finest men. Mrs. Dove-Lyon serves the best wines and alcohol, plus she always has the best food in London. There is a good deal to attract high stakes gamblers and she knows it. Her matchmaking is not a secret and men go willingly to the establishment, some of them looking for a wealthy bride as much as the disreputable women are looking for husbands. Mrs. Dove-Lyon comes from a very old family, but it was her husband's family who built the house that is home to the Lyon's Den. Located on the west end of London on Cleveland Row, the home was once known as Lyon's Gate Manor and is distinctively painted blue. The truth is that Mrs. Dove-Lyon herself was a woman of questionable repute, rumored to be a former courtesan before she married Colonel Sandstrom T. Lyons, a much older man from a highly respected family. When Colonel Lyons died only a few years into their marriage, Bessie came to see that there was no real money left, only a mountain of debt hidden behind a good family name. But since the house belonged to Mrs. Dove-Lyon, she decided to do what she knew best - and turned it into the most lucrative gambling dens in London. By the time our stories are set, The Lyon's Den has been in existence for about ten years. Mrs. Dove-Lyon is a widow and always wears black, her face shrouded, so no one really knows what she looks like or how old she really is. This makes her mysterious. And powerful. Now, dear reader, you know what our authors know heading into the Lyon's Den. I hope this guide shows you just how exciting, dangerous, and diverse the Lyon's Den can be. A truly awesome connected world of wonderful characters and wonderful authors.

Book excerpt: The Lyons Den is an absorbing tale based on some true, slightly exaggerated, life events and characters. This story will affect men, women, gays and the transgendered folk. Biases against those born in the wrong body will soon disappear. One character in the book easily proves he is more human than many of us 'think we are.' She touches inner feelings not easily admitted to. Viv, at 35 years old, searches for love but found the dating agency brought excitement, danger and heartbreak instead. Fast moving, compassionate and racy: a semi-soft, erotic mystery/thriller that is almost impossible to put down. A compelling tale enacted around the Lyons Dating Agency, which is the backdrop for Viv, a lonely woman in search of love with the perfect partner. Instead, she encounters a baron....lover....transgendered hero(ine)....detectives....murders and a serial killer who travels throughout Europe committing his dirty deeds. For Viv, this is a huge change of pace from her previously mundane life working in a London office. There are strong emotional story-lines all the way through which help the reader bond with the characters. The story is frightening in places, whilst extremely sad in others. Intrigue and death are part of the plot. There are many unexpected twists, and each chapter ends with a cliff-hanger. This book is unlike any you would have read before, and it will feel as if you are watching it on television or at a movie! The ending does not disappoint the reader, and the story will never be forgotten. A must read for all fans of thrillers and mysteries or anyone hungry for something unique and exciting.

Welcome to the world of THE LYON'S DEN: The Black Widow of Whitehall Connected World, where the underground of Regency London thrives... and loves.It's amazing how quickly a marriage of convenience can become so very complicated...Kingston Barclay cannot inherit the dukedom soon enough. With siblings to support and a nearly bankrupt estate, an opportune marriage is his last hope. But his best-laid plans are upended when he discovers his best friend's lovely sister sneaking around the Lyon's Den. His immediate attraction to her would make her a most inconvenient bride, given his circumstances. Convincing his heart of that, however, is another matter entirely... The last thing Vanessa Becket needs is another man in her life. Between her conniving stepbrother, a parade of fortune hunters, and the investigator who failed to reclaim her stolen jewels, she's had enough. But when she finds herself in a notorious gaming hell, she discovers something far more valuable than missing gems. A temporary arranged marriage to Kingston could solve all her problems. If she manages to not fall for him in the process, that is... It was supposed to be a simple arrangement. But given their histories-and the secrets Kingston is keeping-the road to happily ever after will surely be anything but simple.Other Lyon's Den BooksInto the Lyon's DenThe Scandalous LyonFed to the LyonThe Lyon's Lady LoveThe Lyon's LairdThe Lyon Sleeps TonightA Lyon in Her BedFall of the LyonLyon's Prey
