Deception and Desire - Softcover
In Sally Beauman's seductive new novel of love, sexual obsession, and complex relationships . . .

Two women become inextricably tangled with passion and peril, marriage and darkening menace. . . .
In New York, actress Natasha Lawrence also desperately needs a change. Still tied to her ex-husband, a brilliant film director, and pursued by a dangerous and frightening stalker, Natasha retreats with her son to the lush confines of her apartment in one of Manhattan's most exclusive landmark buildings. But she is far from safe, as an obsessed shadowy figure plays a heart-thumping game of cat-and-mouse. And when the life of her beloved child is threatened, Natasha will feel the cold sting of true terror.
They will be transformed forever by the forces of
