She deserves more — a life of plutocrats and power like the one blond–haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive city of Bishop's Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne — a swell philanthropist — and her real–estate Napoleon hubby, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a puck tale. Amber’s covetousness could eat her alive…
If she did not have a plan. Amber uses Daphne’s compassion and mining to insinuate herself into the family’s life, the first step in a scrupulous scheme to undermine her. Ahead long, Amber is Daphne’s closest confidant, traveling to Europe with the Flocks and their lovely youthful daughters, and growing near Jackson. But a shell from her history may undermine everything that Amber has worked towards, and if it's discovered, her well–laid plan may fall to pieces.
