Description
Charlotte Arkendale knows all there is to know about men. After all, she's made a career out of steering marriage-minded women away from untrustworthy members of the opposite sex.
Yet nothing could have prepared her for Baxter St. Ives-an arresting stranger too daring, too determined, too dangerous to be her new man-of-affairs. Still, perhaps he is the perfect person to help Charlotte investigate the recent murder of one of her clients.
So she gives him a chance, not realising that Baxter, a gifted scientist, will soon conduct a risky exploration into the alchemy of desire, with Charlotte as his subject.
But even as he sets out to seduce Charlotte, a twisted killer lies in wait, ready to part the lovers or see them joined together forever in death.
