First published 30 years ago to great acclaim, this novel of sexual obsession has been shortened and totally rewritten for the 21st century. "A sexy book . . . all the pathos, greed and grief, longing and impatience, holiness and obscenity, depravity and creativity of human sexuality . . . an exquisite and moving, terrifying and haunting multifaceted novel".--"Chicago Sun-Times". Billionaire financier Teddy Franklin is a force to be reckoned with, an internationally famous power broker whose high-stakes wheeling and dealing send economic tremors from Wall Street to Zurich. He buys and sells corporations at will, and holds the careers of powerful lawyers and politicians in the palm of his well-manicured hand. Nothing, absolutely nothing, is beyond Teddy's reach...
Until he meets her.
Beautiful, tantalizing, mercurial, and perverse, Barbara captivates Teddy's imagination and carnal desire like no woman he has ever met. And the more she toys with his feverish attentions, driving him to excruciating heights of animal lust while withholding the darkest, deepest secrets of her heart, the more he craves to totally possess her, body and soul, until his desperate obsession with this one irresistibly sensual and seductive woman drives him to the brink of insanity -- and worse.
