***For Stella Hargraves, it begins as a time of happiness. Divorced, forty (ish), she is in love with Dan Reade, 20 years her junior.*** He poses as her 'nephew' though everyone else sees past their ruse. Dan is a sensual, handsome pop singer on the rise, thanks to Stella's money and affection. ***But he begins to slip through her fingers:*** Vicky Lehman, a pale, intense young woman, has her eye on Dan... and he seems to be responding....
