Bled White Anna William

Bled White is Book3 of the series entitled "The Saga of Martin McKinley." Martin has managed to marry into wealth and establish an envied career in cancer research. He controls his world with flamboyance and arrogance, contemptuous of those of less stature, scoffing at the gullible, disdainful of those close to him but always certain that life will remain his oyster. Then one day Dr. Lawrence steps into his life and poses a threat to his research and reputation. Much to his dismay, he must enlist a colleague he isn't sure he can trust to help save his career. Fearing his position in the research world may collapse, he further schemes to ruin the Lawrence research to save himself. When an old lust erupts and threatens his luxurious lifestyle, he contrives a way to keep both of them even if it means someone's death. Carefully calculating every step with lies and charm, he attempts to maneuver each person around him - Jan his wife, Marshall her grandfather, David his colleague, Heddie his lover - into place like pieces on a chess board assuring himself he will get the final checkmate. It's a great strategy of intrigue and deception, if he can pull it off. But he has to be careful not to get caught in his own web of lies. Bled White is also a story about Jan, Martin's wife, and the pain of living with a narcissistic sociopath. It's her own yearning and search for love that threatens to destroy her, and her grandfather's determination to protect her even beyond the grave. It's about Clay and David who try to come to grip with their own loneliness. Bled White is the third book in the series entitled "The Saga of Martin McKinley." It is a novel about passion and rage, greed and control, courage and despair. It is a story about hearts that are deceived or broken and felt bleeding until there is no more blood. About hearts that are bled white.
