“But inside the writer, beat the heart of a conniving, manipulative liar who could never, never be trusted. The mask of her beauty allowed Elizabeth to get away with, literally, in Freddie’s estimation, murder. She accused Tree of being like most of the men Elizabeth encountered, totally infatuated, and thus blind to her devious nature.Tree hotly denied this, even as he knew that as part of Elizabeth’s seemingly endless campaign to twist him around her little finger, she had once awkwardly attem...pted to seduce him. The memory of that night lingered, no question, but that did not stop him from protesting loudly that he was not attracted to Elizabeth Traven—he loved his wife too much—and even if he was, he was too smart to ever get mixed up with her again.Yet try as he might he could not—or would not—resist the temptation. Was it the money? That’s what he would tell himself. But maybe something else as well, a strange alchemy that inevitably drew him to her. Plain curiosity, too, he supposed—what the devil was Elizabeth up to now?He drove south away from the South Seas Island Resort after Captain Jim dropped him off, deciding that since Elizabeth’s house on Captiva Drive was nearby, he would stop by for a visit, and perhaps get some understanding of what this was all about.MoreLessRead More Read Less
