    About this ebook

    From childhood Peggy had loved her adopted sister Allison with a protective warmth that could only have come from a true Leo. But when Allison disappears from the family lake cottage, Peggy must call on her last ounce of strength and will to overcome the terror that confronts her at every turn. And when she finally finds the erratic young woman living on the regal Lions Island Estate, she finds herself in the midst of an agonizing web of deceit, with Allison seemingly under the spell of the enigmatic Alex Lions.
