A glitzy, sensual world of powerful people and the courtesans they’ll pay anything to have. An exclusive and secret agency, for over two hundred years Courtesans has specialized in providing entertainment of a sexual nature. Its clients are rich, powerful, and influential men and women, and one only meets a courtesan through referral from trusted sources. Courtesans facilitates bringing together men and women to satisfy any sexual need imaginable, matching the perfect courtesan with just the right client. The agency prides itself on training its courtesans, male and female, to interpret and fulfill its client’s greatest fantasies, even the secret ones no one dares to say aloud. The price is high, but everyone who’s ever had the pleasure of a date with a courtesan will agree, the fantasy is worth every penny. And sometimes it changes your life. When Dominique Lowe turns forty-five, her husband of fifteen years decides he needs a younger model, but he’s afraid Dominique will get vindictive and take him for everything he’s worth. Oh, she’d love to take him to the cleaners, completely and totally, but when, through a mutual friend, she meets a woman who calls herself a “courtesan,” Dominique sees a better revenge. She divorces her husband amicably, takes only what is rightfully hers, then becomes a courtesan to show her husband that she’s desirable, gorgeous, and far more woman than he could ever handle. She interviews her potential paramours up front and decides whether she’ll accept them rather than the other way around. It becomes almost a badge of honour to pass muster with her. But when Gabriel Price refuses to pay her worth, he becomes the man she has to have. Is she willing to give up her new-found freedom to get him? Now it’s time for Dominique to learn that power doesn’t buy happiness, but the love of a good man might be worth everything. “Payback” is a contemporary erotic romance of approximately 30,000 words and contains super sexy material. This book was originally published in 2009 in the anthology “Yours for the Night.”
