From the bestselling author of My Sister`s Keeper comes the riveting story of a murder that shatters the picturesque calm of Amish country-and tests the heart and soul of the lawyer defending the woman at the center of the storm.

Three sassy, but very different heroines: knock-out brunette Peaches Gold, LA`s most influential madam, who in her late thirties is certainly fooling everyone that she`s much younger than she looks; twenty-something blonde South African yacht stewardess Frankie Willis, and English socialite Lady Emma Harvey - in her prime at nearly fifty. The hooker, the maid, and the lady. They have every reason to distrust and despise each other, but their hatred for one man will unite them. Forever. That man is Yuri Khordinsky. He`s typical of the new-comers to the ranks of the world`s super-rich - a handsome, ludicrously wealthy, utterly ruthless Russian with a murky past, desperate for acceptance in society. And he`ll stop at nothing to get it.
