IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU…
First serialized in 1895 and then published as a novel in 1915, each time under a different title, this newly updated version of Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller’s Suicide Place: A Love Story will captivate contemporary readers with its tale of calculated love, fierce jealousy, and class tensions.
Set in Gilded Age New York, the novel unravels the doomed love triangle between desperate Maybelle, wealthy George, and humble Floy—exposing the era’s obsession with status and wealth that continues to persist in modern society.
This third installment in the ITNA ICONS Collection also serves as a powerful metaphor for the wealthy’s hidden desperation, posing the ultimate question: can true love transcend class boundaries, or will social conventions claim another victim?

MRS. ALEX. McVEIGH MILLER was the pen name of Mittie Frances Clarke Point (1850-1937). A self-made author who was ahead of her time, she transformed personal tragedy—the loss of her first husband and infant daughter—into a remarkable 50-year writing career. She wrote 80 novels capturing the experiences of American women during an era of social change, and established her financial independence at a time when few women supported themselves.
Despite adopting her second husband’s name professionally, she left the marriage in 1908, refusing to accept his infidelity despite the social stigma of divorce. Her historic home “The Cedars” in West Virginia stands as testament to her commercial success in a male-dominated industry, while her journey from trauma to literary stardom to reinvention as a single working mother mirrors the experience of countless women balancing ambition with family responsibilities.
