      Jumping Out Of The Frying Pan - Doreen Milstead

      Irene Jumps Out Of The Frying Pan & Into The Fire

      By

      Joyce Melbourne

      Copyright 2015 Classic Western Romances Presents

      Synopsis: A prostitute from Liverpool decides to try for a new life in America by becoming a mail order bride to a sheriff in Texas, but both the man who escorts her there and her life when she meets her future husband, are a far cry from what she thought they would be.

      It was the spring of 1882 when Irene decided it was time to change her life. The streets of Liverpool were no longer a safe place for women like her and besides, the years are ruthless even with beautiful women. Actually, even more so with beautiful women! She was twenty-two years old and she knew that in less than five years, safe or not, Liverpool alleys won`t be able to offer her daily meal.

      In the neighborhood she was living there was a man who from time to time used to help young and ambitious women like her to get rid of the hard life they had at the street corner. Nobody really knew what happened with those who left, but they must have had a better life since Irene sometimes got greeting cards from all over the world.

      Obviously, they were getting married or something and they belonged to the group of honest women. Irene always liked her profession as a lady of the night, and no matter how much the people said it was the worst option, she had many pleasant experiences to remember. She was a young and ambitious woman and men`s attentions always deluded her.

      She knew exactly how to satisfy each one of them and what all of them wished to hear. She loved the pubs that were full of people in the middle of the night, the nights when she couldn`t stop dancing and the lascivious smell of sweaty clothes. There was just one thing Irene could never make peace with: The mornings when she got back to her room from the common villa, when there was nobody to wait for her and warm her bed.

      Those times she felt lonely and the only thing she could do was to go to sleep and wait for the evening to come and take her back in the world.

      But, Irene was aware that nothing lasts forever and that life shouldn`t be left to go on just like that. So, she decided to look for Maverick, the man who could offer a chance to a new life. It wasn`t hard to find him, he was also the one who sold opium to men and women who weren`t strong enough to carry their days on the streets of Liverpool.

      Maverick could be seen every night at ‘Frog`s Inn’, where all the dirty souls from the neighborhood gathered. This is how, one night, Irene mustered up her courage and sat at his table.
