Publisher's Synopsis
Convinced she's found the one, Judith Stone succumbs to the push and pull of her sexual entanglement with Howard Rose, constantly seeking his attention and approval. That is, until she realizes that beneath his erotic obsession with her, Howard is intent on obliterating any sense of self she possesses. As Merkin writes, his was 'the allure of remoteness, affection edged in ice.' Escaping Howard's grasp - and her own perverse enjoyment of being under his control - will test the limits of Judith's capacity to resist the siren call of submission.
