Ellen lived alone and knew it was wrong to take a male roomer in her house. But after the first night, she didn’t care.
She was the last of the Whitcombs, a beautiful woman living alone in the old family manor and lost in an obsession for a past love. Then Tod Lucas, a handsome, diabolical colleges student, worms his way into her house and then into her bed, awakening in her a new sensual reality. Ellen soon discovers that she doesn’t need her romantic memories anymore and she doesn’t even need Ted — any man will do. Because now she is a woman with a hunger and she is going to satisfy it, morality be damned.
