"Lady Susan Or The Captive Heart, A Jane Austen Bodice Ripper" by Lynn Marie Macy.
This hilarious comic adaptation illuminates Jane Austen's earliest novel "Lady Susan." Manipulative, callous and cruel – the beautiful widow Lady Susan Vernon is on a manhunt. To restore her broken fortunes the greatest coquette in England sets out to hook a rich husband.

Literature's greatest villainess is about to take center stage.
