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!
