      On wealthy philanthropist Cecil Wyatt's eightieth birthday, all the money in the world won't bring back his missing grandson, William Wyatt.

Now suspicion has turned shockingly toward William's own half-brother, the rather distant and enigmatic Mitchell Wyatt. Kate Donovan is tagged as a suspect in a high-society murder case, after a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise with Mitchell Wyatt.

      Judith McNaught, a master storyteller with eight "New York Times" bestsellers and over twenty million books in print, delivers a gripping tale filled with suspense and unexpected twists. Set against the contrasting backdrops of San Francisco and Palm Beach, the story follows Sloan Reynolds, a dedicated policewoman from a small Florida town. Unlike her glamorous sister, Paris, and privileged father, Sloan has always valued her investigative work over material wealth. When her estranged father suffers a heart attack, he unexpectedly invites her to join him and Paris for the Palm Beach social season. Initially resistant, Sloan is compelled to attend after FBI agent Paul Richardson reveals that her father is under investigation for serious crimes. Reluctantly, she brings Paul as her date. Things take a complicated turn when Sloan meets Noah Maitland, a charismatic corporate player and a prime suspect in the FBI's case. Despite her fears of falling for him, the allure is undeniable. As the social scene becomes increasingly dangerous, with murders and betrayal surfacing, Sloan grapples with her loyalty to her father and her feelings for Noah. Torn between trust and desire, she must navigate a treacherous landscape of deception and passion to uncover the truth behind her nightmares and the sinister events unfolding around her.

      Across the vast ocean sailed Victoria Seaton, a free-spirited American beauty left suddenly orphaned and alone. Eager to claim her long-lost heritage, she was amazed at the formal elegance of Wakefield, the sumptuous English estate of her distant cousin...the notorious Lord Jason Fielding. Sought after at plays, operas, and balls by London's most fashionable ladies, Jason remained a mystery to Victoria. Bewildered by his arrogant demeanor, yet drawn to his panther-like grace, she came to sense the searingly painful memories that smoldered in the depths of his jade-green eyes. Unable to resist her spitfire charm, Jason gathered her at last into his powerful arms, ravishing her lips with his kisses, arousing in her a sweet, insistent hunger. Wed in desire, they were enfolded in a fierce, consuming joy, free at last from the past's cruel grasp. Then, in a moment of blinding anguish, Victoria discovered the shocking treachery that lay at the heart of their love...a love she had dreamed would triumph... Once And Always.
