A NOVEL AFFAIR

Helen Mitchell was the grade dame of bestselling authors--rich, successful, sophisticated. Brent Ashwood was the enfant terrible--young, handsome, and sensual. She craved passion; he sought imagination ... and each had what the other needed. Their affair, Helen insisted, was strictly an experiment for art's sake, a source of inspiration and new material. But when the material ' includes blackmail, the affair becomes a source of suspicion and terror. And the bond between Helen and her lover twists into a stranglehold from which only one can hope to escape ... alive.
