His nights belonged to the man-hungry widow who paid his salary… his days to her hot-eyed daughter who wouldn’t leave him alone!

From the back:

STRANGE TRIANGLE
THE WIDOW—sex-starved and tormented by her own shameless need, a need so strong and so uncontrollable that she found herself sharing a man with her daughter!
THE DRIFTER—young and virile, a healthy animal who enjoyed catering to the desperate needs of the female guests at the farm as well as to those of the woman who owned it!
THE TEENAGER—restless and ripe, she had a weakness for men with muscles, men who looked good in tight pants, men who knew how to change a girl into a woman!

Nym Was So Beautiful She Could Have Any Man She Wanted… If She Wanted A Man!
The Bitter Truth About A Lesbian Who Hated Men — And Used Her Bewitching Body To Tempt Them To Disaster

From the back:

Some girls can’t be cured… some just don’t want to be!

Selfishness, cruelty and greed… Are these what drive women to unconventional love?
Nym O’Sullivan, born the daughter of a lesbian, grew up hating men. But she was far too tempting to avoid their attentions, and one even forced her to marry him. In revenge, she made him slave of her body — used him, took what he had, then laughed at him. And with that same beautiful body she incited her young lover, Johnny Martel, to undertake a project which would destroy him — and gain Nym more vengeance, more wealth…
Meanwhile, Nym pursued the unnatural bent learned at her mother’s knee. The victims mostly were innocent girls like Lynn Rawlins, the little blonde who never was the same after Nym’s caresses. Then her husband met the redhead whose attractions were well nigh irresistible! Nym had to decide once and for all whether she really prefered degrading embraces — or whether she should fight to hold her husband!

Society Uses An Ugly Word To Describe These Women!
The Strange Story Of Two Who Dared To Share Everything…

From the back:

Gail Hastings had money, fame and beauty — yet these did not make her happy. What she wanted above all else was forbidden in polite society, banned by conventional morality. This is a problem far more common than generally realized. How can women in Gail’s position cope with life? Her own choice was to go after what she hungered for — even if it meant a descent into the gutter…

But Gail, inevitably, dragged down another girl with herself — the young and lovely Angela Winters. There was also the complication of Diana King, who changed husbands the way she changed evening gowns and was always ready to experiment.
True, one man might have saved Gail from her shame — but Angela stole him, and Gail was left adrift, with no way to go but down…
