When Eden Walker--a gold-digging sociopath--seduces an older man, she wreaks havoc on a close-knit Martha's Vineyard family. Soon, the gentleman's daughter, Holly Anderson, is on her trail, and right behind her is Sam Steadman, Eden's long-deserted husband. He has his own reason to find his devious wife: he recently learned that Eden had scammed his needy parents. Holly and Sam intersect and clash, then reluctantly team up to track down the elusive Eden, who's now on the run from two fresh victims writing back their money. Though haunted by Eden's seductive spell, Sam falls for fey artist Holly and tries to hide that he's still technically married. Will they get together? Will Eden receive her deserved comeuppance? Stockenberg (Keepsake) concocts a complex, fast-moving plot--peopled with winning secondary characters--as well as a humorous and tender love story. (Apr.)

From Library Journal
Stunned and furious to discover that her father wants to divorce her mother for a woman half his age, folk artist Holly Anderson takes matters into her own hands and ends up joining forces with the woman's ex-husband, a photojournalist who is looking for her for an entirely different, but equally important, reason. A conniving con artist who leads everyone on a not-so-merry chase, a pair of artistic protagonists who fall in love in spite of themselves, an abundance of Martha's Vineyard charm, and an intriguing plot that is not so straightforward as it seems blend in this gently sensual story. Stockenberg (Keepsake) is a RITA Award-winning writer and lives in Massachusetts.
