Tall, lovely young district attorney Diana

Lyons has committed an unpardonable sin.

She has fallen in love with Conor Clarke. the

son of the Chicago tycoon who ruined her

father. And her passionate fantasies about

this "venture capitalist" and poet with laugh-

ing Irish eyes and wind-ruffled hair rival her

relentless plans to dest him- in this new

Greeley novel based on the passionate biblical

love story, the Song of Songs.

Nothing in her life has prepared Diana for

the feelings that overwhelm her the day she

meets Con Clarke. She prays she will feel her

father s hate, be offended at Con s flank

admiration of her intelligence and lush

beauty, and resist his Celtic charm and boy-

ish smile. But it is hopeless_. She is drawn to

him with the same erotic attraction he feels

for her.., the woman he decides must be his

wife, lover, and the mother of his children.

Meanwhile the bait in the trap for Con Clarke

has already been chosen by the office of the

U.S. District Attorney: Diana. And if the

scheme succeeds, a full-scale investigation

will make Diana the Judas who puts Con

Clarke in prison for years.

Now, Diana is fated to become a woman

torn between her father s need for vengeance

and her own heart. In the brutal, no-holds-

barred world of the courtroom (including

that of the Ryan clan s Judge Eileen Kane)

and the scandal-hungry mass media. Diana

and Con meet as bitter adversaries. They will

be caught up in a tangle of emotions that can

carry Diana to the brink of her own destruction...
