From the bestselling pen of the original undercover reporter, available for the first time in 125 years, the lost novels Of Nellie Bly!
Pioneering undercover journalist Nellie Bly is rightly famous for exposing societys ills. From brutal insane asylums to corrupt politicians, she exposed all manner of frauds and charlatans. She was also a skilled interviewer and reporter. What no one has known was that she was also a novelist. This is because, of the twelve novels Bly wrote between 1889 and 1895, eleven have been lost - until now! Newly discovered by author David Blixt (What Girls Are Good For, The Master Of Verona), Nellie Blys lost works of fiction are now available for the first time! Complete with the original artwork! These are The Lost Novels of Nellie Bly!
Luckie Thurlow, exotic beauty and daughter of a gypsy queen, enters high society thanks to her school-friend, rich and tender-hearted Elise Kendall. Invited for a weekend stay, little Luckie instantly wins over Elises friends with her beauty and kindness. One man in particular is smitten with her—Lloyd Stockton, the reserved heir to a grand fortune. But Luckie only has eyes for his cousin, flirtatious neer-do-well Harry Portland.
Luckies mother, however, has her own plans for Luckies future. As part of an elaborate scheme to avenge the broken heart of her dead sister, the Gypsy Queen plans for Luckie to wed Stockton—even in spite of Luckies own heart!
But the queen is not the only one plotting Luckies future for her. An old lover, promised Luckies hand in youth, has come to claim his prize. If he cannot win her, he will make certain no one else will ever have her! And the beautiful Dory Lee sees only a rival in Luckie, and plots with Luckies foes to remove her forever from the life of Lloyd Stockton.
In a tale of murder and suspense, with dramatic reversals and stunning twists, all the lovers bet their lives as they begin . . .Playing For Hearts!
Bonus feature: This volume includes Blys New York World articles that inspired her novels!
