Shiners R. Gordon Zyne

Carolyn Todd is the young, self-assured vice president of the Jacobsen Institute, a biotechnology research organization in New York City. Her mentor is the brilliant Dr. Dan Jacobsen. Dan calls her, a real shinerbright, attractive, but prone to getting burned. Carolyn is plagued by poor eyesight and her vision always seems to be fuzzy and a little out of focus. Her world is full of illusions and mirages, especially when it comes to men. She loves hot-tempered, heavy-drinking Eric Wheeler, a high-powered city commissioner, but she also dreams about Michael, Erics sensitive and caring brother. She looks at the two brothers and wants to meld them into one person: Michael, the gentle intellectual and Eric, the passionate lover. And then theres Buck Ryan the charming college professor whom Carolyn toys with. But when Nicky Wheeler enters the picture all hell breaks loose and Carolyn is forced to see all her men in a new light.
