About the book
When does a dream become a obsession?
At first Georgina couldn't quite believe it. Why would her brother sacrifice his marriage for the amusement of a woman who was all the while obsessed with desire for her brother-in-law, Quinn Shieffield?
Then Georgina, too, faced the formidable Shieffield power. "You might be your brother's guardian angel," Lucinda warned, "but there's no angel looking after you." And where the masterful Quinn Shieffield was concerned, Georgina had to admit she was powerless.
Quinn's influence was pervasive, intoxicating -- and inexplicably frightening!
