Enter Gwen Sinclair, the beautiful, much younger wife of Texas oil billionaire Ross Sinclair, owner Crossbow, a famous thoroughbred horse farm where Phil has been hired to finish out a new bloodstock library being appended to the main house. Fascinated to have “Del Colton’s dad” right there working on the premises, Gwen becomes determined to find Phil a new woman, plucked from her circle of multi-millionaire divorcee and widow friends. When she invites three of the most eligible of them to Lexington to meet him, he thinks it’s all great fun until Christine Nygaard, a gorgeous forty-something widow of a shipping magnate who bequeathed her half-a-billion dollars when he died, makes him an offer he doesn’t think he can refuse. As an attractive woman in her position, Christine is plagued by a legion of fortune-hunting suitors from all over the globe and needs a credible man to masquerade as her new life partner. Phil has all the bona fides she is looking for, and she is willing to compensate him handsomely if he agrees to take the gig. It will involve him co-habitating with her for most of the year in her palatial beachfront home in Naples, Florida, an exotic dream car for him to sport around in, international travel and fine dining in her company, and playing lots of tennis, but will also afford him an annual allowance and a thirty-day yearly vacation where he can go anywhere and do whatever he wants, no questions asked. It would be nothing like the life he once lived, but at least he’d be back in the chips again, right? Heck, it might even enable him to once again kick-start his writing career.
Christine is as anxious to have him agree to that role as he is to be flush again, and her private jet is waiting. It doesn’t give him a lot of time to consider what the reality of being a kept man might actually entail, and so he jumps in with both feet without taking the time to consider what could possibly go wrong.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
