I have more money than I know what to spend it on.The power that comes with being a partner at a law firm.A closet-full of tailored Brioni suits.The ugly divorce.A daughter I love more than life itself, even if I'm not sure she's mine.What I don't have is her.My queen of thorns.Maria Tavares has the paralyzing effect of a black widow disguised as a femme fatale.She's brains and beauty, and has the audacity to f*ck around like a man without regard for feelings.And she lives by the mantra, "hit it and quit it."Yours truly included.After a one-night stand six months ago, I want my formidable rose - any way I can have her.When she comes to me needing a favor, I'm quick with a proposition she can understand: an arrangement.Three months.All in. Strings attached. No interferences. Titles exchanged.Mine.In this battle of wills, Maria will discover that I know she needs to be handled with a firm hand.Especially while she's on her knees for me.
