Carrie is beautiful and untamed, a single girl with her own business and the pick of the men. Her older sister Poppy is an earth mother, with a successful career in the theatre and happy home life. Since they were children, Poppy has always looked out for her sister--she knows Carrie has a darker, destructive side. But she never dreams Carrie would hurt her. But Carrie can't help herself. She provides danger, excitement, great sex - all the things that had faded in Eduardo and Poppy's marriage. And in destroying her sister's peace of mind, she risks losing all those who love her.
