She Longed To Declare A Love That The World Would Not Accept
Was It Right To Love Her Brother’s Wife So Passionately?

From the back:

She Couldn’t Keep Her Hands Off Her Brother’s Wife!

What torture to be in the same room with Kathy, not being able to say what she really felt about her, not being able to fondle her warm, nude body as she posed on the podium.
Yes, Elaine Ransome had been successful competing against men; she’s climbed to the top of the ladder over their dead-tired bodies, but she needed something more. And for a while, kittenish Terry Brooks fulfilled that strange desire within her.
Then… her brother brought his wife, Kathy, to the city, and temptation built up within Elaine to a smashing climax!

Even as the statue took on shape and texture… so did a relationship she never thought possible.

Sexy Jill wanted men… but other women wanted her!

From the back of A Labor of Love

TWO FEMALES
Dorcas, the young socialite…who came down to the Village seeking to develop a talent, who came in search of a means of self-expression, who came in the hope of putting an end to a nagging inner unrest she was unable to fully understand.
Gina, the sensuous model…a lovely wanton with a flawless body, demanding that she be paid by the hour, whether working as a model by day or a mistress by night.
Suddenly, for Dorcas, it wasn’t enough to mold the exquisite details of Gina’s sleek thighs and hips and breasts in clay…suddenly, she had to work with something softer than clay, something warmer…like flesh!

From the back of The Women She Had

Jill let her hands roam over Betty’ naked body, as Betty kissed her with wild passion. It was tremendously exciting to feel the smooth flesh, to caress the lush curves, to make that warm body tremble with anticipation…. The damn years she had wasted! The thrilling pleasures she had missed! No more! Never again would she do without….

Cover art reused from Warped Desire

From the back:

It seemed innocent enough, at first. Just a gentle kiss on the cheek and an affectionate caress from her college roommate, Myra. But beautiful, passionate Gale found herself growing more and more excited; and then a strange frenzy seized her… And then it was too late.
When Gale married it seemed that this brief unnatural affair was forgotten. Then she found her husband in bed with another woman.
Heartbroken, aching now for love, Gale returned to her old college as a teacher. Like some ghost from the past, Myra was suddenly there.
Hardly before Gale realized what she was doing, wild days and nights followed. Myra held her spellbound like a moth hypnotized by flame. There seemed to be no turning back. Finally Gale made her decision. She embarked on one of the strangest quests any woman has ever undertaken. She would find a man, any man, who would give her the kind of love she needed and demanded. Wantonly, she had affairs with men teachers and male students.
And in fighting back, Myra pulled Gale down to the lowest depths.

Twilight Lovers

37920592-LPF-Twilight_Lovers-Front

They Lived And Loved In The Off-Beat World Of Lesbianism

From the back:

Gail, Marja and Gretchen were part of the topsy-turvy world in which you stared if a boy danced with a girl, and found it normal when two girls rubbed knees under the table or sneaked off into the shadows for more intimate contact.

It was the world of the dyke, the butch, the bull, the ladylover – terms you resented, at first, and then grew to like, for it set you apart and made you different.

It was a blast because it was a world without inhibitions — except when you were among squares — and conformity was the most grievous sin.

It was a mad, mad, satisfying world – until one day you opened your eyes to discover that you were considered an outcast, a pervert, and your depravity could send you to jail.

Then she shied away, broke off the relationship quickly and cleanly. Usually there was no trouble, but when she told Gail, exquisite, clinging Gail, that they were through, Gail refused to accept it. There was trouble aplenty — and black tragedy — before Dinny learned to face herself and assume the responsibilities that love imposes.
