Tainted Blood
Elise, from Atlanta, Georgia marries a young doctor and moves to a small town in North Florida where she establishes herself as the social leader. She and her husband, Edward Farrington, have two sons who are both handsome and charming. However, Blake, the eldest is born with a charisma that most men seek, but few acquire. He has a self-satisfying, ruthless streak, encouraged by his mother who was once a debutante and lives her life accordingly.
Brian, eight years Blake's junior, grows into a man exemplifying Edward's gentle nature. While Blake plays sports, Brian suffers with asthma, wears glasses and is overshadowed by his brother's image. Brian requires no status roles to elevate his self-esteem. He knows what he wants and that is Trish Anderson, the girl across the street. Brian leads a quiet orderly life, while Blake rushes through snatching all he desires, with no regard for his actions until he snatches the girl his brother loves.
The Farringtons' world caves in, and each one is burdened with a cross to bear. Can they survive the hell of Blake's litter? Is love powerful enough to evoke forgiveness for the unforgivable? When blood seems tainted, can it ever flow pure again?
