Gerald Hamilton is a power broker in the world of Australian commerce. He is one of the richest men in Australia; known to be ambitious, aggressive, and totally ruthless. He is also urbane, handsome, and utterly charming, a delicious and dangerous aphrodisiac to any woman. In a desperate move to obtain total control of the family company, Gerald will risk everything, even those he claims to love.
