How does a man win back a woman he's lost to another woman? This lesbian pulp fiction classic, reprinted after over sixty years, was deemed "indecent" in 1961 by the National Organization for Decent Literature. The story revolves around a group of wealthy, attractive, and intelligent young women who escape to the Bahamas, seeking a different lifestyle and perhaps freedom from societal constraints. Photojournalist Ralph Thayer, disillusioned with New York and his fiancée, goes on vacation to the Bahamas, where he meets Alison Adams. She introduces him to the intriguing secrets of her female circle, leading him to compete for Alison's affections against the striking Maxine Carpenter. As Ralph employs his masculine charms in a fierce battle for Alison's heart, Maxine retaliates with jealousy and fury. Critics note that while the narrative accommodates male voyeurism, it also highlights the painful consequences of male power dynamics. The author, writing under the pseudonym Randy Salem, was a significant figure in lesbian pulp fiction and the partner of another prolific writer in the genre. Salem's notable works include Chris, Tender Torment, The Unfortunate Flesh, The Soft Sin, and The Sex Between.
