Seduction was Jill Fleming's finely crafted art of survival.... Losing her family when she was only six years old, she was rescued by authorities who didn't even want to imagine what unspeakable horrors she had endured. But Jill knew, and remembered well. Now, she was a mistress of manipulation, an expert predator. With her golden looks and iridescent eyes, she enticed men and women, submitting to their most private fantasies, then taking everything they had. Even in the charged heat of pleasure, she always left a wake of aching desire behind...and always looked ahead....Leslie Chamberlain possessed a consuming appetite only success could satisfy...or so she thought. Statuesque, with fiery hair and an incandescent spirit, she was born penniless in a town where status was measured by money. But big dreams drove her to stardom at one of the nation's hottest advertising agencies, where multimillion-dollar clients vied for her talents and sexy young lotharios competed for her favors. One man changed it all forever - a man whose expert touch became an irresistible addiction, whose urgent whispers promised her a lifetime of exquisite ecstasy, and whose treacherous heart concealed a cruel secret that would turn a glittering dream into a nightmare....At thirty-three, Jordan Lazarus was the wealthiest man in America...But getting to the top had not been easy. His razor-sharp intelligence, lean, handsome body, and shrewd business sense were hardly assets in the backwoods factory town where he grew up. But loyalty to his destitute family forced him to follow a singular destiny that led to the very seat of corporate power. Now, he seemed to have everything: a vast business empire, riches beyond imagination, and a gallery of willing seductresses who found his velvet caresses as inventive as his thoughts. Yet within Jordan's soul was an obsession for something he dare not think about - something that could ignite a tantalizing flame extinguished long ago....From the cutthroat corporate towers of Chicago, Detroit, and New York, to Long Island's luxurious gold coast, where scandal smolders restlessly beneath the polished veneer of wealth, these three will come together...reckless players in a high-stakes game, risking the ultimate betrayal, and abandoning the rules for the fruits of forbidden passion.
