Poprvé se dostává na pulty českých knihkupectví první román H. Robbinse (naposledy vyšel slovensky ve Slovenském spisovateli v 70. letech minulého století). Jedná se o strhující příběh, odehrávající se v ulicích New Yorku, hlavním hrdinou je osiřelý mladík na hranicích dospělosti – autor sám. Je o mladíkovi, který se bil, kousal a škrábal a… vraždil na své cestě vzhůru. O císaři ilegálního impéria. O muži, kterého milovala překrásná žena, čekala na jeho lásku a nikdy ji nedostala. Kniha, plná popisných erotických scén, „kdy jedna strana vás dožene k slzám, druhá vás vzruší“, jak v době vydání knihy poznamenal publicista Pat Knopf. Není divu, že v době svého vzniku (1948) byl román v některých státech Unie zakázán. O pár let později byla kniha zfilmována, jednu z hlavních rolí tehdy vytvořil Steve McQueen.

Win Liberte enjoys a life of luxury, having never had to work thanks to his inheritance of an international diamond business managed by his uncle.

Following Jack Lear as he tries his hardest to fit in to the WASP world, this sexy, outrageous, and irresistible novel showcases Harold Robbins at his rip-roaring best. Jack Lear rises from a modest Jewish background to take on the WASP world, but never quite feels like he's succeeded in his ambition to be accepted as one of them. Making his fortune as a pioneering radio and television broadcaster and founding a landmark network isn’t enough—nor is the money, fame, and women who go with it. He continues to hunger for what he cannot have. Here is a tale that only Harold Robbins could tell: of Jack’s torrid relationship with his first wife, a WASP social heiress; of his affairs with everybody from chamber maids to duchesses; of his second marriage to a world-class beauty and society figure; and ultimately of his life-long struggle to make his network # 1, and to give it a sense of class that sets it apart from all the others.

Harold Robbins once again creates a story featuring his signature street-smart characters who use their hard-won knowledge to achieve greatness. The Secret, a steamy novel chronicling the meteoric rise of a lingerie chain, Jerry Copper, of The Predators, returns, moving from his spring-water success to launch his new empire of intimate women's apparel. Unfortunately, Jerry's operation, unlike companies such as Victoria's Secret, isn't exactly legit. He would desperately like to keep his son, an honest lawyer with street smarts and a code of honor, out of the family business and away from his mob associates. All is well until Jerry needs a good lawyer, and his son insists on getting involved.

Marja, dcéra nemajetných poľských emigrantov, náhodne vstúpi do sveta, ktorý ju očarí leskom spoločenských večierkov a komfortom súkromných sídiel. No je to aj svet falošných hráčov, zakázaného sexu či policajnej korupcie... Román Park Avenue 79 sa umiestňuje v tabuľkách bestsellerov už od júla 1956, čo svedčí o nadčasovej príťažlivosti tohto príbehu.

Dovidenia, Janette je strhujúca próza, plná lásky, erotiky, nenávisti a vášne v živote troch žien – matky a dvoch diametrálne odlišných sestier, medzi ktorými je generačný odstup. Čitateľa prekvapí situovanie začiatku románu do konca druhej svetovej vojny, keď sa mladá Poľka-vdova s niekoľkotýždňovou dcérou dostáva do domácnosti nemeckého generála. A tu sa začína odvíjať príbeh, v ktorom matku nahradí jedna a neskoršie aj druhá dcéra, ktoré hľadajú uplatnenie v živote, no často podliehajú vášni a strate ilúzií o svete. Janette a Lauren, dcéry jednej matky, ale dvoch otcov, predstavujú európsky a americký typ mladých žien, ktoré nemajú zábrany pred ničím. Janette zatrpkla v mladosti, napriek tomu sústredí sily na to, aby sa uplatnila v biznise spojenom s módou a sotva dospelá Lauren po krátkom manželstve zvažuje, čo sú ozajstné hodnoty.
