In this corner, we have Max Herschel. He is an enormously rich man who blithely applies the same high-handed tactics to sex as he does to business.

And in this corner, Bones Burton, smart blond. In Maxs large and frequently changing case of female companions, she alone has stayed the course. She has been Maxs favorite for thirteen years, during which he has lovingly taught her how to use people and power.

But now Bones is thirty. She is rich. She is looking for somebody different, somebody better. And when she meets Steven Routledge, younger than Max and from a very different background, she coolly weighs her options and decides to cash in Max.

That decision is where the fun begins. Fun for Max. Total hell for Bones and Steven. Because, as they discover immediately, Max has prudently neglected to teach Bones a number of his better tricks.
