In this third book of the Stuart Trilogy, the story of the family of Lord Jay and Lady Hilary Stuart rushes to a new level of intrigue. As the daughter of Count and Countess Francois and Cameron Dubonnet and granddaughter of Lord Jay and Lady Hilary, the world has high expectation for Courtney Stuart Dubonnet. She's just put herself on the stage as the author of a new musical that is charming Broadway audiences. But the joy delivered by rave reviews is tainted by another story in the morning paper: two murderers have just been released from prison. And now, they're after revenge. There's a disturbing link between the playwright and the killers-and as a result, Courtney's world is about to change forever. What follows is an exhilarating tale of love suborned by the evil influence of a master hypnotist. As her life races between New York and Switzerland, Courtney must truly keep her wits about her if she hopes to survive. She must overcome the siren entreaties of a master criminal, face life and death in a Swiss blizzard at the hands of an immoral kidnapper, and endeavor to find true love among the admirers and imposters that populate the trendy watering holes of Europe and the United States. Will Courtney be able to discover her true love and unmask the evil manipulator in time? The future of the Stuart line hangs in the balance.
