Sienna Johnson read the message from Noah Phillips: "Beauty isn't a sin; the sin lies in a person's heart!"
She pondered her reply. But because of beauty, creatures are hunted, driven to the brink of extinction. In that case, isn't beauty a sin? she mused, her fingertips sliding across the screen, typing and deleting. She found herself at a loss for words.
They had once been the closest of companions, relying on each other for survival. Yet, even such intimacy couldn't withstand the cruelty of time. If she and Noah could reach a point where they had nothing to say to each other, what about her and Adrian Desmond? Adrian Desmond wasn't an ordinary man. Her marriage to him could one day place her, and even her family, in danger. If, one day, she, her children, or her family were harmed because of Adrian Desmond, could she and Adrian continue their relationship?
Just as she was wondering how to reply, her cell phone suddenly rang. Startled, Sienna almost dropped it.
