L'Amber — Tanith Lee

Jay has very little - except a career of taking chances. The beautiful artist Jilaine Best has everything - looks, talent and great wealth. But it seems even Jilane's perfect life is flawed. In adolescence there was the mysterious episode in France. Now, longing for the baby she is unable to conceive, Jilaine is willing to let another woman give birth for her. And so Jay confesses she is already pregnant with an unwanted child. Lies are so easy to tell, if you've had enough practice. Harder to change into truth. Luckily there is the handsome cab driver, more than willing to go to bed with Jay. And there is Jilaine's sustaining money, not to mention the desirable, confiding, desperate Jilaine herself. Spin your web. Watch it tangle. Now see what you've caught.
