NEW RELEASE
Wicked Wives - Anna Lou Weatherley (2013)
In the prologue the scene is set - on a luxury yacht in a breaktaking location, someone is out to get their revenge on Tom Black. As the story returns to the recent past, Tom is exposed as a playboy who makes enemies nearly every step he takes as he gambles with other people's lives and livelihoods. The women he crosses include dance teacher Ellie, who can't forget Tom despite not having seen him for years; money-grabber Loretta who has an interesting merger proposal for the debt-ridden gambler; and bestselling author Victoria who is desperate to have a baby. This is a pacy and racy read, which will leave readers wondering which of the characters will be left holding the loaded gun. Despite relying on a sudden death as a plot ploy once too often, it seems Weatherley may be emerging as a contender for the bonkbuster queen crown.
Wicked Wives, by Anna Lou Weatherley, is touted as a tale of intrigue, revenge and excess. The summary says: "When the Blue Angel yacht is found abandoned off the coast of Antigua and playboy and casino owner Tom Black, who was on board is pronounced missing, foul play is suspected. After all, the serial gambler and womaniser has made plenty of enemies. As events come to light however, the finger of suspicion points to three women in particular - and the men they're married to. Ellie Scott, the beautiful socialite with a dubious past; Loretta Fiorentino, the fame-seeking gold-digger and Victoria Mayfield, the glamorous successful author."
