First published: 1981
Description: Thirty-eight year old divorcee Grace Sorentino is in a precarious position – upwardly mobile in age, downwardly mobile in income. A cosmetician on Palm Beach's fashionable Worth Avenue, she barely makes enough for her and her 16-year old daughter to live on. When Grace loses her job, she reluctantly pursues a cynical scheme to snare a rich widower. But when she finally comes within reach of her goal, she finds herself enmeshed in a self-spun web of deception and danger that threatens to rob her of everything she holds dear.  A timely novel of romance about the cost of getting what you want -- when what you really want is priceless.
