The Hundredth Tear: End of Our Marriage

From the back cover

Hendery Stone first meets Rosalind Judd on a rain-soaked evening, when he gives up his hotel suite to a young woman in a red gown. Within days she tracks him down, and before long she proposes; they marry, and he promises to spoil her forever. Yet three months in, Rosalind tears up their marriage certificate for the first time, and it becomes her weapon of choice.

Each time she wants her way, she rips the certificate apart. She leaves the country with her childhood friend Jackson Lane and makes Hendery wire her money to return. She ruins their first anniversary to force him to rescue Jackson's job. She humiliates him before his most important client, Peter Stevenson, scattering the torn pieces across the table.

Now, for the hundredth time, she demands his company shares, and Hendery sees the love bites on her collarbone. He chuckles, boards a plane, and decides he no longer wants her.
