Jack Lurton was a prosperous young bachelor and advertising executive with no "empty-bed blues" until he met and fell desperately in love with 20-year-old slinky, black-haired Theodora Ames. But Theodora, the product of finishing schools, wealth and innately a teaser, had never learned the joys of mutual give and take. Sudden death of her parents had made her a wealthy heiress, but it wasn't her riches Jack sought. However, money was just what Ruby Branton, Theodora's late father's mistress, and Ruby's daughter, Laurel, had to have. So Laurel takes a job with Jack, the trio kidnap Theodora, and the persuasion methods they used are violent, sexual, unique... and illustrated.
