Synopsis

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 Intimate Terms (1988); The Possession (1998); and her newest work, The Pygmalion Complex , published here for the first time. In The Pygmalion Complex , Romana leaves her home in Chicago and moves to New York when she learns that her husband is divorcing her to marry his pregnant mistress. Upon her arrival in New York, she meets Kent Cunningham, an internationally renowned fashion designer who recognizes, under Romana’s somewhat dowdy suburban exterior, both her beauty and her potential. Romana and Kent eventually fall in love, but their love is thwarted by an insurmountable hurdle.
