Lily Cigar

SHE WAS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG INNOCENT, DRIVEN INTO THE SINS OF WOMANHOOD BY THE DARK DESIRES THAT RULED MEN'S HEARTS

You will never forget Lily—as a child watching her mother die in want…as an orphan struggling to protect her reckless brother…as a teen-aged innocent discovering the power of desire…as a fear-filled young girl learning to sell her body in the most elegant brothel in the wickedest city on earth…as a captivating beauty whom men would pay any price to possess…as a mother desperately trying to keep the truth from her daughter…as a woman forced by love to return to the city of her shame and seek to conquer it…
