Janine is a professional dancer - admired, adored, envied. And life in Monte Carlo should have been glamorous and exciting. But though outwardly radiant, Janine is desperately unhappy. She suspects her lover, the fascinating Nikko, of infidelities with the rich society women. And her infatuation makes her an easy pawn in his ambitious and selfish game. A game which involves deceit, blackmail and murder. And which drives Janine into two marriages and almost destroys her relationship with the passionate and devoted Peter Willington.
