Summary
In the wake of the Carlyles' disastrous decision to 'treat' their son, Barnum and Phillip each struggle to do the right thing. If only they could agree on what, exactly, that means.
That might be the least of their worries, though, because Phillip definitely isn't making the best decisions himself lately. And maybe Barnum isn't either.

Only a few days after joining the circus, Phillip's battle with alcohol reaches a disastrous peak... but it's the decision made in the aftermath that spells out more danger than anyone had bargained for...

Summary
Six years into his partnership with circus mogul PT Barnum, Phillip Carlyle’s erratic drinking has finally driven Anne Wheeler out of town and into the arms of a respectable Southern lawyer. Determined to move on with his life, Phillip throws himself into the task of developing Caroline Barnum’s budding ballet career, appealing to his old friend—the dashing, formidable balletomane Eric Thorne—for help.
But when a newly divorced Anne unexpectedly reappears in New York, her return sets in motion a stunning betrayal that leaves the Barnum family—and Caroline's future—in ruins. Devastated by Thorne's treachery, Phillip is forced to face his own complicity…and play an increasingly deadly game against an opponent that never loses.
