Before Alexandra came into Thorn's life, there had been Anne Joy, a beautiful woman who, after escaping the violence of her past, found something like happiness in the languid life of the Florida Keys. But her past includes her sadistic brother, Vic, now a wealthy rogue businessman who specializes in the hijacking of pleasure boats and delights in cruelly murdering their owners. Vic is obsessed by his sister and will do whatever it takes to drive her lovers away -- even murder.
