description: Darling,
  You've been cooped up alone in the middle of nowhere far too long. I'm arriving to relieve your tedium. And bringing a very big surprise...
  
  The surprise is Montague Bridgeman -- and, courtesy of Fallon Gilchrist's dear friend, he's hers to do with whatever she pleases for one week. An inexperienced widow, Fallon is shocked at the idea of a private plaything. Shy and repressed, she decides to use him as her model and start painting again; he is a rather spectacular specimen of a man. Bridge, however, is hell-bent on awakening the reclusive Fallon to the sensual world, and she soon quivers under the force of his desire -- and her own. Yet even more intense than these heady pleasures of the flesh is the haunted look in Bridge's eyes -- a look that suggests he's much more than a lover-for-hire, and that seven days and seven nights might not be enough...for either of them.
