I have been away from the hustle and bustle of Steemit due to old age and weak joints, and now that I am back I realise that I have made promises that I almost forgot about. In this post I promised impulsively that I would give two Steem to the person who came up with the best pulp fiction title to the digital painting I had made. I liked all of the titles people came up with and wrote little synopses to each of them in the comments. I will bring them all bellow and thank you to all who participated!
What I didn't think about was that I had to actually find a winner, which is a terrible job. So... to get out of the predicament I asked my daughter, @scarlet-rain, for help.
And the winner is... ...
@steevc!
With the title:
Here are the other titles in no particular order:
Storming the Crimson Nest
Naja knows her way around men, but when she is hired by the MI6 to infiltrate the Crimson Nest Manor of the notorious Doctor Bösencock, her famous wit is on trial. Will Naja be able to withstand the energetic courtship of Doctor Bösencock? Will she be able to defend her honour? Who is in reality storming whose Crimson Nest!

Return To Red Rum Manor
Scarlet was sure that she would never find a man to marry... But then she got a job at Red Rum Manor, as the secretary and night nurse of the mysterious and alluring Doctor Torrance!
By @skovclaude
Mary Magenta and Viridian House
Mary was so young and open to love, but the hippies of the Viridian house lured her into a bizzare and deadly pit of vice.
By @shortcut
Aunt Tit's House
They had warned her, but Helen Hooters just had to go there!
Thanks again to all who participated!
Some of those made me laugh. It looks like others picked up on similar things from the picture. I can't see me ever writing a romantic novel, so this may be the closest I get. I do know some published novelists who ought to get onto Steem. I'll make them aware of it.
Thanks for my prize!

You are welcome! Somehow I never saw you as the new Barbara Cartland, but I guess this is a first step. you never know!
I know you like animals, but I am not sure about how you feel about wearing a magenta dress.

Nice! And I agree @steevc was the deserved winner here, nothing can beat cleavage (though @shortcut made me LOL as well, haha)

Gratz to the winner, you can't ever go wrong with cleavage! I also like the Viridian house a lot and its short text.

I liked that too, but in the end my daughter decided for the House of Cleavage. She thought of yours as the most realistic title, and I like synopsis best :)
