Russian Lover and Other Stories

by Jana Martin

Overview

Dazzling short stories from a prizewinning young author, whose smart but vulnerable heroines — from an apprentice dominatrix in over her head, to a spurned wife explaining her husband's flaws to his mother, to a stripper who turns the tables on her customers — get in all kinds of trouble and have to dig themselves out with brains and nerve.
