Eden Sinclair is the director of the exclusive Galerie Raton in Atlanta's prestigious mid-town district. As the summer temperatures soar, she finds it increasingly difficult to adhere to her self-imposed celibacy and spends a lot of time fantasizing about various attractive young artists who pass through the gallery. Among them is Michael MacKenzie, the flame-haired sculptor whose sexy masculinity sets her pulse racing. Almost delirious with unrequited passion, Eden sets out to seduce him, despite her professional promise never to become involved with her clients. Things become even more highly charged when she finds out the gallery owner, the manipulative Alexander Raton, is having an affair with her best friend. It's going to be a summer of surprises and steamy encounters.
