The Secret Keeping Francine Saint Marie

THE SECRET KEEPING: Dr. Helaine Kristenson is the leading authority in the field of psychosexual relations and the bestselling author of the how-to bible, "Keeping Mr. Right." Professionally, she deals with secrets of the heart every day. Privately, she even has a few of her own to keep her busy. What's so Top Secret? Her seven-year relationship with notorious super-model Sharon Chambers--a once very hot union that lately has become something less than perfect. Wandering unwittingly into the middle of their tangled web is disillusioned investment strategist, Lydia Beaumont, a sleeping beauty who's just about to wake up. Add to the resulting fray a dozen lawyers, a handful of corporate executives, and a gaggle of overzealous reporters, and you've got one highly public love triangle. And the more private a woman is, the more exposed she becomes. THE SECRET KEEPING is a high-stakes, fast-paced modern romance, where the moral of the story is that money can indeed buy you love...if it's invested wisely.
