In the picture-perfect English Cotswolds, two teenage girls dressed in punk finery attend a wild midnight party. Music, drugs, and dancing are promised by the enigmatic young man known only as Star. Charismatic and cunning, a conjurer who procures heaven for a price, Star sells seduction for a living. Now he's got a pill - a White Dove - that delivers the ultimate high. And he has a plan. By dawn, one girl will be dead, the other will have vanished - swept by Star into the danger zone. At the heart of that perilous place stands the gifted and reclusive Maria Cazares, a couturiere of originality and passion, a woman who shuns her own fame, a legend shrouded in mystery. Around her swirl rumor and counterrumor, whispers of shocking secrets and taboos broken. Fiercely shielded from celebrity's glare by Jean Lazare, her iron-willed partner - some say lover - Cazares is surrounded only by a carefully selected few. And the most dangerous among them is Star. Now, as the glitterati assemble in Paris for the new collections, a fatal triangle established three decades before in sultry New Orleans is about to fulfill its tragic destiny. Two journalists, firebrand editor Rowland McGuire and investigative reporter Gini Hunter, pick up the heady scent of an unfolding scandal. And as they clash over how to cover it, their hostility ignites a sudden desperate flame of desire - a desire that, if quenched, will tilt their universe.
