Martinis And Roses: a novel

An obsessive womanizer, a wealthy poet, an Iranian philanthropist, and a New York abstract expressionist painter fiercely compete for the attentions of Eleanor von Schroeder, a self-assured, beautiful woman in her twenties in the hectic Madison Avenue world of the 1960's. Eleanor has them believe she loves each of them simply by being the even-tempered, gracious, good-humored girl she is. But though she is compliant and fun-loving to a degree she is unconquerable in ways that count. Her would-be lovers will not give up and Eleanor will not give in, until circumstances change and a difficult solution occurs.
