title: Getting Rid of Ian: A Memoir of Poison, Pills, and Mortal Sins
author:  Penelope James 
description: <br />Ian: Is he a pompous jerk? A control freak? A psychopath...or maybe all of the preceding? Whatever he is, he has few redeeming qualities. And two little girls from England want to get rid of him. Why is that? He terrorizes them; throws out their personal belongings; throws them out late at night; denies bathroom privileges; keeps a tight rein on the time spent with their mother, and makes weird demands. Finally, the two girls have had enough. So what do they do? Read this can&apos;t put-down memoir to find out. -- Marsh Cassady, author of &quot;The Professional Writer: Getting Ideas, Avoiding Pitfalls.&quot;

  “Penelope, I am close to taking you right here, on the settee in your parlor.”
  
  “Aye, it is, perhaps, not the best place for this.”

  swollen, her eyes a hot blue that he now knew was caused by desire. She wanted
  him. He wanted her.
  
  “You are an innocent,” he whispered.
  
  “Innocent, but not ignorant. I live a short walk from a part of London where
  every sin known to man can be purchased. I may be innocent in body, but I know
  more than I like to. I know where this will lead and I know I want to follow…”
