Publisher Description
"An immensely talented writer." –Cydney Rax
It's business as usual for the infamous gold digging Gibbons women of Chesterton, Virginia. But this time, middle sister, Stephanie, may be the one getting played. . .
Stephanie Gibbons has finally hit the jackpot. Her new sugar daddy, Isaac, is loaded. When he proposes, Stephanie is sure she's set for life--until she finds her bank account empty, Isaac gone, and a strange--but very attractive--man following her.
Sexy P.I. Keith Hendricks has been tracking Isaac and his trail of heartbroken, swindled women all along the eastern seaboard. But he's not sure if Stephanie is Isaac's accomplice--or his next victim. The only thing that's certain is his overwhelming attraction to her. And when Stephanie joins him on the hunt for Isaac, neither can ignore the sparks. Soon Stephanie is wondering whether true love is worth its weight in gold. . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Playing with the popular adage "Don't hate the player, hate the game," Ellis continues her Gibbons Gold Diggers series (begun in Can't Stand the Heat) with a solid and sympathetic story. Stephanie Gibbons is a successful real estate agent and one of her mother's best students in the art of chasing and manipulating wealthy men. When the game gets turned around on the player, however, Stephanie must look deep inside herself to plan her revenge with the assistance of sexy private investigator Keith Hendricks. Familiar familial themes are presented without judgment, and there's a surprising depth to the slightly overused plot that encourages readers to step back from their own prejudices and see things from the "player's" perspective. Smart, sexy dialogue and a hint of mystery will satisfy both series fans and new readers.
