  When Hilary Cox sees her long-time lover announce on public television that he plans to marry another woman, she decides to write a tell-all expose about the mining magnate and his sordid past. Also seeking revenge is John's sister, Pamela St. George, who attempts to dissuade Hilary from completing her memoir, suggesting that there are more insidious ways to achieve her goal. Having suffered years of abuse at the hands of John, Pamela is determined to gain control of the family's tourmaline mining business. While Hilary confronts the demise of her relationship, Pamela struggles to reconnect with Cutter Reid, a man she has always loved but whom John has always kept from her. As Hilary discovers more about John than she bargained for, three decades of power, duplicity, and money culminate in a thrilling finale with one of Delinsky's most memorable villains.

  Nothing can prepare writer Hillary Cox for seeing her lover of more than 20 years, mining magnate John St. George, announce on television that he's marrying another woman. Seeking revenge, Hillary begins a tell-all book exposing John and his shady pat. John's sister, Pamela also wants revenge on her brother - she has suffered horrifying abuse at his hands. She sets out to wrest control of the family's mining business from him. As Hillary attempts to end her obsession with St. George, Pamela searches for Cutter Reid, the one man she has always loved and from whom her brother has kept her away. Pamela readily acknowledges that he's 'arrogant, self-centred, despotic, and sly'. She tries, however, to dissuade Hillary from her plan, hinting that she has more subtle schemes afoot for John's destruction. But Hillary forges on, learning that the man for whom she harbours an obsession has a loathsome history of blackmail, theft, heartless seduction, attempted incest and physical violence.
