Vicky had been swept of her feet by Michael, who was supposed to be her husband in name only in a marriage of convenience. Vicky wages a war against her conniving in-laws to retain her position as MIchael's wife, as well as fighting Michael's own demons so he'll accept her as a real wife and satisfy the tumultous longing he generates in her.
This book is about greed, lust, and sex. Those three themes consume the characters's existences. It shows how those born to wealth sometimes abuse their privileged positions and lose all they own. Although these things make most other books interesting, they don't work too well in this book. First, I know that this book is not exactly literature, but as an entertainment piece the three themes above do not enlighten me about the characters until the middle of the book, and by then, I just don't care.
