PLOT

Jeremy Walker, is 44, handsome, refined and world famous for his lavishly illustrated children's books.  His life is ordered, comfortable - until he is seduced by a beautiful and precocious 16-year-old runaway.  Belinda: innocent yet passionate, she becomes his elegant muse and lover.  His portraits of her, shocking and erotic, are the finest work he has ever done - yet to reveal them could destroy his career forever.

As his passion for her deepens, so does his obsession with the past she will not talk about.  Terrified of losing her, he is unable to live with her silence; and as he probes for the truth, he finds himself swept up in the world Belinda has fled from, a world of Hollywood money, lust and dark family secrets.

A dazzling, erotic story, racing from the stylish world of San Francisco to the luxurious mansions of Beverly Hills and the sun-drenched beaches of a Greek island paradise.

CRAIG'S REVIEW

This book is okay it has a few flaws with certain story arcs but it is a good read.  Very down to Earth and asks the question can love be found at any age?  Get the impression this book should be made into a movie of some sort as it is well developed and can be turned into a script no problem. 

Well worth the read.
