KISSING IN MANHATTAN is a twisted New York fairytale. Its heart is the Preemption, the most glamorous and strange apartment building on earth, and it features, among others: Patrick, the diabolic millionaire with a taste for nude restraint; Rally, lying tied up in Patrick's bedroom during an outrageous party; Hannah, the nymphomaniac perfume heiress; Douglas, the teacher propositioned by his star pupil's parents; and, in no particular order, penthouses, bondage, Latin, stuffed jaguars, guns, Martinis, anvils, opals, guppies, priests, mirrors, bathtubs, lightning, whiskey, mahogany, beds.
