Summary

Margery Allingham's book "Black'erchief Dick" was nearly lost through the ages. Written by the author when she was just eighteen years old, she quickly dropped the manuscript with publishers so she could continue working on other endeavors. Through the hard work of literary scholars and lovers, however, it was salvaged and is once again available to readers who wish to read this early 20th century novel. Though there are some themes that would, today, be considered politically incorrect, the book offers an interesting glance into the society that once was.
Available since: 12/09/2023.
Print length: 169 pages.

    He’s a widower attending a medical conference. She’s a recent divorcee hoping to get her groove back. He’s noticed her before, but this time is different, with an empty ring finger to prove it. Can he convince her they’re meant for more than a week long love affair? 
Jack: I’ve attended this medical office convention before, but this is the first time I’m feeling bold. But I didn’t expect the shy woman I’ve been checking out for the last couple of years to not only be available, but interested in a Vegas fling. Only one week will never be enough for me, but how do I convince her to want more? 
Diane: First time I’m attending this convention this single, and my girlfriend has filled my head with stories about “what happens in Vegas” touting it's time for Diane to get her groove back. She’s right, and when I meet Jack, I’m sure he’s the one I want to have this sexual reawakening with—only nothing about him feels temporary. Can he fall for a woman who propositions him for a no-strings-attached weekend? 
Each book in the series is a complete, standalone story. This is a steamy, short story romance, complete with instalove and a guaranteed happily ever-after. If you're looking for a great lunchtime read, or something to spark sexy dreams before bed, you’ll want to pick this one up.

    William Cuthbert Faulkner was born on the 25th September 1897 in New Albany, Mississippi. 
Faulkner never graduated from high school and also dropped out of the University of Mississippi.  Despite this seeming lack of application, he would go on to become one of the literary leviathans of American Modernism.  He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949 as well as two Pulitizer prizes and was a prolific Hollywood screenwriter.   
With classics such as ‘The Sound and the Fury’ and ‘As I Lay Dying’, together with his complex sentence structures his work with Southern Gothic remains an enduring legacy. 
William Faulkner died on the 6th July 1962 in Byhalia, Mississippi.  He was 64.
