What happens when the love, scandals and hope between two powerful families are revealed?

Seduction And Sacrifice

Everyone warned Gemma about Nathan, but she believed he wasn't heartless – just heartbroken. Clearly he is still in love with his ex–wife, Lenore, so Gemma tries to hide her attraction to him.

However, Lenore knows loving a woman isn't one of Nathan's talents. Not like Zachary Marsden – loyal, handsome, protective, he is the perfect husband, and Lenore has secretly loved him for years. But she also knows that her ideal man will never leave his wife…

Desire And Deception

Jade has a special name for Kyle Armstrong: Mr. Cool. Her father had hired him as the new marketing manager of Whitmore Opals – the job she wanted! But the more she tries to hate Kyle, the more she finds him attractive; this is real desire!

Elsewhere in the Whitmore household, Gemma, Nathan's trusting young bride, had already been seduced – by passion. Now she is discovering the difference between Nathan's lust, and her love...
