Fantasy and desire are unleashed in this haunting, erotic tale of love, lust and obsession. Nick Cavanaugh is a brilliant surgeon who seems to have it all -- money, prestige, looks -- everything except Helena, a voluptuous, cold-hearted seductress. After a one-night stnad with Nick, she refuses his advances, but he continues to pursue her. WHen Helena is in a tragic accident in front of Nick's mansion, he takes her into his tome, imprisons her and transforms her into his own version of the mythic Venus. Gradually, they are both forced to confront their inner demons in torrid scenes filled with passion, voyeurism and psycho-sexual torment...all building to a shocking, not-to-be-missed conclusion.
