Back in the heady days of the '60s, Cheyney Fox was one of the hottest young art dealers in New York. Her beauty was legendary, her sensuality given free rein. But a crooked colleague forced her into bankruptcy and blackened her reputation, leaving her confidence shattered, her career in ruins. Fleeing the memory of her failure, Cheyney sought solace in the arms of Kurt Walbrook, an Australian millionaire. Cheyney became Kurt's wife and gained wealth and position from the marriage, but there was something sinister about her husband, a depravity about his sensuality, that unleashed a dark and disturbing response in her. Besides, in her heart of hearts, Cheyney Fox had always belonged to someone else ... Grant Madigan, globe-trotting, trouble-shooting investigative reporter, was one of the best and brightest of his generation. For him, women were just a decorative but dispensable commodity - until he met Cheyney Fox. Grant was her magnificent obsession, but, recognising instinctively that she was the one woman who could threaten his independence, he brutally rebuffed her, putting cruelty and continents between them. Cheyney Fox - a woman in a million, an enigmatic beauty whose past contains dark secrets, twisted desires that must not be revealed. She will take on the world, but is the world ready for a woman like ... Cheyney Fox ?
