On April 2, 1870, readers of the New York Herald open their newspapers to an astonishing headline: “The Coming Woman, Victoria C. Woodhull, to race for the White House!” And so begins the biographical novel of power, politics, promiscuity, and persecution surrounding one of the most fascinating and controversial women in American history.
Reactions to Victoria’s announcement are mostly amused. After all, women can’t even vote! But she and her sister already mix it up with the men on Wall Street, running the first woman-owned brokerage firm. She now launches the first successful mainstream newspaper to be run by a woman. When she becomes the first woman to enter the bastion of male dominance, the House Judiciary Committee, her argument that the 14th and 15th Amendments already give women the vote stuns the men and electrifies the women!
Victoria is officially nominated for President by the Equal Rights Party on May 10, 1872, with former-slave-turned-statesman Frederick Douglass as her V.P. If she thought she was persecuted before, it is nothing compared to what follows. Read the whole exciting true story.....

LA Homicide Detective Marc Deveroe had not dated since his finance was murdered three years previously. Then he meets Juliet. Being a Shakespeare buff, Marc takes the woman’s name as a sign that he should ask her out. They have a pleasant dinner, after which Juliet surprises him by becoming sexually aggressive—but he can’t resist.
After a night of the most incredible love-making he has ever experienced, Marc wakes to find Juliet gone, leaving only an ominous Shakespearean quote written in lipstick on his mirror. Is it a cruel joke, or has Juliet killed him? While Marc deals with the waiting and wondering, he searches for his possible murderess with the help of Kate, his almost sister-in-law.
Then reports come in from other men, and the hunt is on to stop the lady with the long scarlet nails and full scarlet lips from killing more. He hasn’t been able to solve his finance’s murder, but will Marc be able to solve his own?
