Publisher's Synopsis
Hanna is intelligent, vivacious, mid to late thirties, a charmer intent on living under her own terms and by her own devices. She is married, twice a mother, a schemer using whatever is at hand to get what she wants. To her, truth is as much a devious tool as is deception. And, she's irresistible and enchanting! A woman through and through, she knows "A woman has a thousand ways to get a man to do whatever she wants." Anything is a device, including the amenities... Phil, a generation older, is a sophisticated, accomplished Who's-Who New York City investment banker driven from his position by way of a takeover, ending up sulking in exile in Florida, completely unprepared for anyone like her. But, then, what man of any background could handle Hanna? Hanna and Phil are two of a kind, both cheaters and liars, something she admits to readily. While she starts out believing she has him under control, he plays his own games with her... in bed and out. They desire and deserve each other. But too many things, her flat marriage, his children, his failing marriage, the developing business involvement she engineers between him and her father-in-law, as well as their own hangups get in their way. The affair is the only option...defined by a murky ending. The affair goes dormant, but is it over?
