The story - four men are paid to seduce and abandon...but then one of them breaks the rules

PLOT SUMMARY: A MYSTERY UNFOLDS
Eccentric English millionaire Dennison Carr invents a game in which he pays a group of men to seduce women he selects randomly.

HOW TO CHAT UP WOMEN
The novel's gripping suspense builds from the first page, as Dennison goes hunting for men to participate in his game of seducing strangers. He offers Erskine £3,000 to sleep with three random females. How will he chat up the women and persuade them to have sex with him?

MODERN-DAY LITEROTICA - THE CHARACTERS IN THE NOVEL

Hof - a 'bad boy' sex addict who lives for the thrill of seducing women.

For every woman who takes the bait, the men grow in confidence, happily seducing strangers. All except Erskine. A dark secret troubles him.

BEAUTY & SHAME
Natascha hates herself for having feelings for Erskine. The dark erotic charge of their sex has broken something within her, leaving her vulnerable. Does she love him now? Like Erskine, she too conceals a dark secret.
