Dark Captor
Quarterly dividends

Stephanie's marriage to Dominic Rayburn is pure business -- a deal to keep her brother out of jail and fulfill the conditions of Dominic's inheritance. Here, business and pleasure don't mix. Her husband, however, isn't satisfied with a mere handshake.

Dominic's quarterly collection of conjugal "dues" forces her into battle with herself -- Stephanie hates him and hates herself for wanting him. But now he's offering her release, if she'll play the part of loving wife on an island holiday. But after time alone with the man she "despises," will it really be her freedom she wants?

Hero: Dominic Rayburn
Heroine: Stephanie Rayburn
