She strives to keep that fact a secret but is blackmailed by someone threatening to make it public. This thrusts them into a political intrigue.
This for those who want it all--cheating, revenge, winning the lottery, murder, divorce, romance, cool dogs, hot chicks, yada yada. I caught a lot of hell over on "Lit" for it either being too much of this or not enough of that. I wont even include the original 5th chapter (I'm still stinging from the stoning I got for it!). Instead I will finish it with my revised final(?) chapter. Hope you all like it. BTW this is NOTHING like my prior stories. It is vanilla compared to "Cheater" and "John".
A story in the The Mists of Aphrodisia Universe

I was fingered as the oldest male descendant of a railroad baron. The prize was an island near Bangor Maine. The conditions? What the hell was he THINKING?
Magic exists. Everything straight out of myth and legend, folklore and religion, fantasy and nightmare has at least a kernel of truth to it. Warning - this is just a teaser to a much bigger upcoming story. / (Reviews)
