A story of wealth, power and attraction, and the truth behind two of America’s wealthiest men. From the billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel.

When talented journalist Charlotte Ramsey is tasked with profiling the lives of two of America’s richest men, she discovers more than boardroom battles.

John Williams, a widowed shipping magnate, hides his sociopathic tendencies beneath a veneer of charm and wealth. His latest conquest, a young woman drawn into his dangerous web aboard his luxury yacht on the sun-drenched shores of St Bart’s, might just be his undoing.

Ben Sharpe’s empire was built from nothing but raw intelligence and ambition. His unexpected warmth and sincerity catch Charlotte off guard, igniting a bond neither anticipated but both yearn to explore.
