  Will's a nice guy. So when he takes a shortcut to the tube station after a few beers with his mates from work, he steps out of the way of the fellow who's staggering towards him. But he – deliberately – moves back into his path. They knock each other as they pass.

  Emma Lawrence was one of those women who seemed to have everything her way: beauty, blarney, and an insatiable hunger for expansiveness. From an undistinguished background, she pieced together a life of affluence through her enchantresses of wealthy men and then moving on once they had served their purpose. Each relationship had been strategic in her relentless pursuit of money and status. 
  But when Emma meets Victor, a man whose charm and sophistication meet her own ambition, this carefully constructed world begins to unravel. It is his insinuations of even greater riches that set her on a course of deceit entailing investment of all she has, both financially and emotionally, into it, only to find out too late that she is played. 
  She is stripped of her money and marooned by the very man whom she held in trust. Now, Emma faces only one thing: the cold reality of her choices. And having no money, with no roof over her head, she returns to her old neighborhood, a place riddled with whispers and condemnation. She must now start life all over again from scratch, taking up a job at some small café and learning very fast the virtues of hard work and humility. 
  As redemption starts unfolding for Emma, she finds herself having to fight through haunting memories from her past and the men wronged by her. In healing herself, she sows a path that is challenging but lays the foundation to find the right connections and gives meaning to her life—hitherto unknown to her. 
  " Voluptueux et Bon Vivre: Every Woman's Want " is a suspenseful, at the same time deftly heartfelt story of ambition, downfall, and the painful climb towards redemption. In the case of Emma, it goes on to prove that while pursuit of luxury may be destructive, the search for meaning and integrity will lead to a richer, fuller life.

  Claimed! - The Tale of Undersea...

  Gertrude Barrows Bennet is better known by her pen-name, Francis Stevens. With a career that only spanned three years between 1917 and 1920, when she stopped writing after her mother's death, she is credited as "the woman who invented dark fantasy". She was a direct influence on H.P. Lovecraft, and in the words of Sam Moskowitz was the "greatest woman writer of science fiction in the period between Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and C.L. Moore"“Mysterious, beautifully written, at times hallucinatory, and with a creeping atmosphere of dread to spare, "Claimed" is most surely an impressive piece of imaginative work. The author does not shrink from the depiction of violence and bloodshed, either. As in "The Citadel of Fear," here, an ancient god appears in modern times to stir up trouble, but in "Claimed," that god is never named (although Poseidon/Neptune is strongly suggested) or even clearly seen.[we see] the horrendous fate that befell the continent of Atlantis, and just how the coveted box wound up in the drink to begin with, and it really is some fascinating stuff. Vanaman, Leilah and especially old Robinson, I should add, are all well-drawn characters, with the good doctor being especially likable and sympathetic. Stevens peppers her novel with many memorable and haunting scenes, including an early exploration of the newly risen, barren island where the relic is initially found; a clairvoyant's unfortunate attempt to perform a little psychometry on the arcane object; and, indeed, the entire final 1/3 of the book, comprising as it does a tense chase at sea. The book has great sweep and drive, and is fairly relentless once it gets moving. Personally, I could not wait to get home after work to get back to it, and the evenings that I spent reading "Claimed" were very gripping ones, to be sure.” [Sandy Ferber, fantasyliterature.com]
