Beyond the Rocks by Elinor Glyn, Fiction, Classics, Literary, Erotica 12+

📘 Captain Fitzgerald's troubles are over -- for the wealthy Josiah Brown will settle the Captain's financial woes, brought on by a lifetime of profligate ways -- in exchange for the hand of his youngest daughter of three, Theodora. All is quite proper, and all is done through a fine solicitor -- and everyone is quite satisfied with the arrangements.Everyone save Theodora, that is. Theodora's mother, many years gone now, had bequeathed her child not only her beautiful silvery-blonde hair, and a warm, generous heart, but also a sense of romance -- and Theodora knows life must offer her more than this aging Josiah Brown!Elinor Glyn's classic Beyond the Rocks inspired a Paramount movie featuring Gloria Swanson and Rudolph Valentino.
