BOOK TWO OF THE BUTTERFLY TRILOGY From the author of the New York Times bestseller Butterfly comes a provocative, riveting tale of one woman’s escape from her haunting past. The rich, the glamorous, the powerful all come to STARS—to gossip, to make deals . . . and to indulge luxuriously in their most erotic fantasies. At the magnificent and secluded Palm Springs mountaintop resort, bodies—and souls—are offered up to save fragile careers . . . or are used to extract the final succulent and satisfying drops of sweet retribution. And above it all, manipulating events from the shadows, is the beautiful owner of STARS—a woman of great mystery, fleeing the tragedy, disgrace, and scandal of a devastating past that haunts her every moment.
