Emiline du Ronde-Barhydt is a prosperous businesswoman with
a thriving sugar cane plantation; she has taken the
knowledge her father instilled and created an empire all on
her own. Over four years ago, she gave away her heart away,
only to have it ripped apart as her husband abandoned both
her and their home for a life with his best friend and the
high seas. Emiline is more than ready to move on, so she
makes a trip to the family lawyer seeking a divorce. As she
leaves the office, she sees Connor, the best friend,
lounging in the reception area; she knows her husband can't
be far away, so getting him to sign the papers should not
be difficult at all. Unfortunately, her husband decides to
see her in person and strikes a deal; three days of total
control for a divorce. Simple, right?
Reinier Barhydt hasn't seen his wife in four years; he has
left traveling to her port to his best friend and business
partner Connor. This time, though, rumors are circulating
that his wife has taken a lover, which makes Reinier see
red. No matter that he has been partaking in extra-marital
adventures; he refuses to be made a fool of by his wife.
Unannounced, he shows up to find Emiline has become an
extraordinary businesswoman with adventurous ideas -- and
she wants a divorce. Seeing Emiline again dredges up the
pain and hurt Reinier felt all those years ago, when she
described him like a prime piece of horseflesh. His desire
for her is still strong, so he makes her a deal; give him
three days to get her out of his system and she can have
her divorce. Easy, right?
Chloe Harris' debut novel is funny and slightly dark
in a sensationally passionate way where jealousy, desire
and love run wild. A great read!
On an alluring Caribbean island, Emiline du Ronde-Barhydt's
inheritance and dazzling beauty insure that she's granted
her every wish, but one...freedom from her wayward husband.
So when the proud sea-captain, Reinier Barhydt, strikes a
deal to let his wife go - under one condition - Emiline
agrees. The price? Before Reinier signs the papers, he gets
three days of his wife's total submission to his every
erotic demand.
The two fall under a spell of the most forbidden sensations
and Reinier risks losing control of his own carnal game. At
the mercy of his own raw shattering needs, the three red hot
days may just turn into a lifetime of smoldering passion...
