Pero Zoe se siente desamparada en las garras de la adicción que la domina...al sexo. Al encontrar una terapeuta compasiva para que la ayude, Zoe finalmente reúne el valor para contarle su tórrida historia, una historia de deseo y culpa tan impactante como absorbente. Del sensible artista con quien pasa horas robadas entre arrugadas sábanas al rudo y violento hombre que la lleva hacia la destrucción, Zoe es una mujer que busca desesperadamente la satisfacción —y algo más oscuro, más profundo y tal vez mortal. A medida que pierde el control de su vida y sus escapadas sexuales la llevan a una elección peligrosa, Zoe compite contra el tiempo para descubrir la fuente de su "atracción fatal"—mientras escalofriantes secretos brotan de los recovecos de su mente femenina y las tentaciones peligrosas conducen hacia un clímax que puede amenazar su cordura, su matrimonio...y su vida.
