Synopsis

In these two novellas, Andrews introduces readers to Jessie, a woman so filled with love, lust, and loyalty that she can't see straight, and to Cousin Claire, who can see quite straight--perhaps too straight. Nothing stops these two thoroughly different women who are equally dedicated to getting their way. 10 illustrations.
