Madam Quadira is a warped and controlling woman. Martin Houseman, a devoted husband and father, accepts a contract to projectmanage the construction of a huge leisure and residential project on the Gulf working for the Saudis. Sounds great! Right? Unfortunately, it's a contract he will be unable to see through to its end, and worse yet, he will never see England again. The wealthy, powerful, sadistic and controlling Madam Quadira will see to that! "He recalled the backhanded slap – never a punch – that had rocked his head to one side with such power his teeth had rattled in his mouth. A slap followed by another... And then another...Never the most physical man, for all his good looks, his senses were soon scrambled and unmanly tears leaked from his eyes. Though he did somehow manage to stop himself from begging her to stop as she demonstrated her complete physical superiority over him. By the time the slapping stopped, opposition to her was unthinkable and he could barely keep his feet as the monstrous woman began removing his clothes."
