From the first moment when the young Elizabeth met brilliant, talented, strikingly handsome Burton Westfall, she was his to do with as he pleased. But she was not the only one. This man exerted a power over women that was as natural to him as breathing, which he used without effort or thought. Thus began Elizabeth's strange double life. To others, she seemed totally in control of her destiny: a superb student, a skilled doctor, a strong human being. But Burton Westfall only has to crook his finger, and she would come to him, despite the fact that she was loved by a man better in every way than he, despite the humiliation and degradation she willingly suffered in his hands. Here, is a novel so spellbinding and unforgettable of a woman's obsessive passion - and the price she had to pay.
