She Could Break Any Man

Andy Douglas knew Bradley, the Florida fruit baron, would stop at nothing to gain control of his orange grove. So when Bradley’s daughter Marcia made a play for him, Andy resisted.

But Marcia was a woman who knew how to break a man — completely. And when she asked Andy to take her to a Miami luxury hotel, he could give only one answer — even if it meant losing everything he cared about.
