Opis

A suspenseful romp through arts society, NFL football life and offshore banking... Society beauty and skilled amateur cellist Marie Donovan finds herself in deep trouble after her pro-quarterback husband sails off a Dallas high rise-many say in shame after his investment scheme implodes. Just months later, the widowed Marie's shock turns to terror when she's charged with murdering a lecherous opera maestro. Evidence points squarely at her, but Marie swears she's been framed. Only her best friend believes her. The stunning wife of renowned NFL quarterback Cole Donovan is no stranger to struggle. Not only must she fight off eager groupies who want to take her man, but she feels alienated in Cole's pro-football macho culture. When her philandering, hard-drinking husband retires after an injury, he begins playing with high society's money. Winning at all costs catches up with him and leaves Marie on the hook for millions. Scorned by society, charged with murder, Marie pins her hopes on defense attorney Ryan Ingles, one of Cole's college football pals. After his legal team reveals a long line of victims to the murdered maestro's charms, the investigative troupe travels to distant islands in search of Cole's missing millions and a way to restore Marie's reputation. As the tropics weave a romantic spell, a corrupt offshore banker ruins Marie's bliss. Will she ever be free of blame?
