The Possession

KWS Publishers announces their new Astor Place Genre Fiction series, a reintroduction of several of the forgotten classics of mystery, romance, science fiction, and the western published since World War II. As an introduction to this series, KWS is pleased to present three works by the romance writer Elaine Gordon: Intimate Terms (1988); The Possession (1998); and her newest work, The Pygmalion Complex, published here for the first time.

The Possession begins in Hawaii, when sixteen-year-old Tatianna North learns that she has been sold by her mother and brother to one of the wealthiest men in Europe. After a few years, Tatianna is freed and moves to New York, where she finds herself at the center of a daring public relations campaign and later serves as the spokesperson for a new brand of French champagne. Tatianna’s newfound fame leads to her eventual kidnapping and domination by a man whose will is even stronger than her own.
