Animosity — David L. Lindsey

American sculptor Ross Marteau, renowned for his sensual depictions of the female form is retreating to Texas after a particularly traumatic breakup in Europe. In San Rafael to start a new commission, he suddenly finds himself irresistibly drawn tot he captivatingly beautiful Celeste, who pleads with Ross to choose Leda, her sister, as his next subject. When he finally meets her, he is stunned--she is, at once, the most beautiful and the most grotesque woman he has ever seen.

Fascinated by her misshapen body and the incredible torment in her eyes, he accepts the challenge. But soon he is pulled deeper into their desperate world, and when someone close to them is killed, Ross finds himself ensnared in a web of dark secrets and deadly maneuvers.
