69 Love Street Piwi

From piwi, the author of irresistible novels, comes another story from Canada, this time of a tragic love triangle between Maria Faheya (also known as Mary Anne Fahey), an ambitious and sensual young woman, born and raised in the slums of Vancouver, who is forced into prostitution but reinvents herself as an elegant Howe Street madam; Jeff Kinnaird, a hardworking, honest young lawyer who works his way up to Crown Prosecutor and is the only man Mary Anne has ever loved; and Ricky Rossmoor, who introduces her to the high-stakes world of Raymond "Ace" Chung, drug kingpin and lover of all things beautiful. An unflinching tale, 69 Love Street starts out on the mean streets of skid-row Vancouver and ends up on luxurious Howe Street. Over time, Mary Anne claws her way up from street kid to ecdysiast--ultimately becoming the madam of a Mafia-owned brothel known affectionately to insiders as "69 Love Street." Maria--now known to all as Mary Anne--provides big spenders with the most beautiful "escorts" on the West Coast. But once Mary Anne starts breaking the law, endangering her business empire and enraging her bosses, she must face a streetwise, book-smart Crown prosector who wants to earn coast-to-coast headlines (plus a huge promotion) by destroying the call-girl ring. However, unbeknownst to the tireless, ruthless Jeff Kinnaird, the beautiful, arrogant madam he wants so badly to convict and incarcerate, Mary Anne Fahey, was once known as Maria Faheya, the woman who rejected him more painfully than he would care to remember. Does Jeff put aside his feelings in his pursuit of justice? Or does he he let his undying love for her compel him to prosecute her less than 100% so that her own celebrated lawyer, Victor Galbraith, can win her the acquittal that everyone believes she will get but does not deserve? In this novel, piwi presents a vision of modern Vancouver which proves that corruption, greed and vengeance are timeless. Destined to become a classic, 69 Love Street tells a sizzling story of lust, sexuality and lust that doubtless will be read for decades to come.
