  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;Recently divorced, Anna Dunlap has two passionate attachments: her daughter, four-year-old Molly, and her lover, Leo, the man who makes her feel beautiful -- and sexual -- for the first time. Swept away by happiness and passion, Anna feels she has everything she's ever wanted. &lt;P&gt;Then come the shocking charges that would threaten her new love, her new &quot;family&quot; ... that force her to prove she is a good mother.</default_description>
