The destinies of three vibrant women, each as stunningly beautiful as they are dangerously ambitious, intersect at Burghley's, the oldest and most venerated auction house in the world - and a seething hotbed of greed, sexual passions and cut-throat intrigue.
MacKenzie Turner - threatened by boardroom and bedroom machinations over which she has no control, whose rampant erotic appetite has her juggling two lovers. Dina Goldsmith - the social-climbing wife of Burghley's new owner, taking the express elevator to the pinnacle of fifth Avenue society.

But MacKenzie, Dina and Zandra discover the summit of privilege and glamour of Burghley's to be fraught with danger, a glittering prize targeted for the crime of the century - and only MacKenzie can stop the scythe of evil from cutting its deadly swath. But first she must uncover the conspiracy - and then survive the countdown to terror. As the drama races from Manhattan to Mustique to its tension-packed climax, all learn the high price of living the good life, that there really is such a thing as being Too Damn Rich....
