The Dilemma

Penny Vincenzi's fiction has won a growing legion of admirers. Overlook is proud to bring into paperback her fifth novel--and most popular book yet. Glamour has called her "the doyenne of the modern blockbuster."

Francesca Channing is a woman on top of an empire. As the third wife of business tycoon Bard Channing, Francesca is blessed with every possible material luxury.

Now, all Francesca has to do to keep her marriage alive, her children safe, and her life intact is to tell a lie for her husband. One simple, straightforward lie. But Francesca's dilemma is much more complicated than it seems. How much does Francesca actually know about this man she married? Does she love him enough to lie for him? How far would she go to save her marriage--and what would she be saving?
