Publisher's Synopsis
Byron is tall, handsome, well spoken, wealthy, and has outstanding taste in wine and food. You'll be impressed by his impeccable attire and eloquence in conversation, ranging from Baroque art to the newest advances in pharmacology. With his charming smile and elegant manners, Byron truly is the perfect date... and who doesn't love a man who appreciates opera?
What's the catch, you ask?
Just this: if Byron finds you suitable, he will subject you to utterly depraved forms of torture.
No, I'm not talking about S&M.
Byron will mutilate, rape, and then kill you. Don't think that you will survive the encounter, because you won't. He has a perfect record.
Intrigued? Would you like me to arrange a rendezvous? It has to be in the next few days because he's leaving on a trip south to much warmer climes, and his calendar will be completely full.
Yes? Very good. I will make a reservation for two under the name of Smith.
Who am I? I'm Gloria, his personal assistant.
