About the Book

Shooting straight to the naked truth of it all, the words of this sultry and sophisticated new debut novel, from inception to finish, have been idealized, questioned, reasoned, cried over, laughed at, experimented on, then written.

Dr. Lydia Blake, aka "Diamond," is the most highly acclaimed pediatric surgeon in her field, blessed with the extraordinary gift of restoring lives on the outside, yet fighting a severely devastating trauma on the inside, her failing marriage to a cheating husband, Germany.

Raven Dupree has gotten all that she's ever wanted in life, a multi-million dollar intimate apparel clothing line with contracts in Europe and somebody else's prime time husband.  She struggles to amputate the bondage, finding integrity beyond a lethal affair that sets a high price on her life.

Yodera Worthington grew up believing she was the daughter of a womanizing schemer who abandoned the family, leaving a curse on her life that must be destroyed.  She later learns the truth about being the sole heir to a perfect man's heart, her real father, Hans Worthington of London.

Then there's Grace, the babysitter from their childhood, who set their mission to find each other again and ultimately. . . true rapture!
