The daughter of a controlling mother, Elizabeth finally lets loose one night, drinking at a nightclub and allowing a strange man’s seductive Russian accent to lure her to a house on Lake Shore Drive. The events that follow change her life forever. This is the best stand-alone novel Roberts has written in some time. Well worth the honor of her 200th publication!
