Publisher's Synopsis
Whereas the other six deadly sins offer a gratification that one must fight to deny, Lust originates with agony, doubt, and fear of rejection. But Lust can take many forms; it's hard to tell whether the craving will be for love, control, or money. One thing is certain: Lust can both frustrate and delight.
