The Dilemma

All she has to do is tell a lie. One tiny thing... All Francesca Channing has to do in order to keep her marriage alive, her children safe, her life intact, is to tell a lie. One simple, straightforward lie. But it isn't that simple or straightforward at all. Her life, as Bard Channing's third wife, is far from easy. He is charismatic, powerful and rich - and he adores her. He is also manipulative and scheming, with a family as large and complex as his business. An emotional crisis of her own puts Francesca's dilemma into perspective, and makes her wonder if she loves Bard enough to sacrifice it all for him...
