About the book
Michael \"Butcher\" Boone is an ex-“really famous\" painter, now reduced to living in a remote country house and acting as caretaker for his younger brother, Hugh.

Beautiful, smart, and ambitious, she's also the daughter-in-law of the late great painter Jacques Liebovitz. Soon Marlene sets in motion a chain of events that could be the making--or the ruin--of them all.
