First book edition of the third novel by Vina Delmar (1903-1990), following her sensational bestseller Bad Girl.

To capitalize on the popularity of Bad Girl, Delmar quickly published two successive titles, also suggestive and gritty: Kept Woman and the book at hand. She then departed New York for Hollywood. There she wrote for the movies, with The Awful Truth (Cary Grant and Irene Dunne) garnering lasting fame as one of the best screwball comedies.Dust jacket illustrated by Arthur Hawkins, Jr. with a sensuous tablea amid angular shadows and geometric forms. Dust jacket now enclosed in a removable, clear archival sleeve. .
