<p> The lives of four very different women have been shaped&#8212;and battered&#8212;by one charming man. . . . </p> <p> Ireland's debonair politician Paddy de Courcy&#8212;the "John F. Kennedy Jr. of Dublin"&#8212;has captured tabloid headlines and the imagination of his country with his charm and charisma.

But with Paddy's political star ascending, the time is finally ripe for redemption . . . and perhaps a bit of revenge. </p>
