Devoted, Deadly

One woman seeks inner contentment, deep love, and a joyous life for her daughters. One woman seeks revenge, luring men into her sexual and predatory lair. Both will have their way, and beware to any man that interferes.

They are smolderingly beautiful. One knows exactly how to deal and dispatch with men, the other is learning how to take control of her life and create a destiny her daughters will emulate. Ultimately, true courage wins the day.

Joshua, the hotshot commodities titan of Wall Street, lives the life that most men can only dream about. He crosses paths with both women, tangling his way into a web of love and murder, deep passion and sexual fantasy, blackmail and final redemption.

In the end, who comes out on top? 

Set in near-current day Hingham, Boston, and Cape Cod Massachusetts.
