Look at the cover of this book. Look at it! Pulpy discount rack romance novel from 1993?? WRONG!!

This book was written by LOUISA MAY ALCOTT—yeah, the lady who wrote Little Women and Little Men and Jo's Boys and all those nicey-nice books we hated in junior high.

Alcott made some quick money writing sensational pulpy stuff in the 1860s-1870s to earn money for her family who were impoverished pacifists or something like that.

This book is saucy and naughty and really contains triggers that might discomfort modern readers. But oddly, it is also incredibly virtuous. It's a hidden gem that any Alcott lover OR hater will enjoy!
