The Gatecrasher

Fleur Daxeny is beautiful, unscrupulous, and has a large wardrobe of black designer suits. With the help of the obituaries, she gate-crashes the funerals and memorial services of the wealthy, preying on rich and newly vulnerable men. Charming her way into their lives, their beds, and their bank accounts, she takes what she can and moves swiftly on.

This is her modus operandi when she waltzes into the memorial service for multimillionaire Richard Favour's wife. Mingling with the guests and sharing made-up recollections of the dearly departed, she dazzles Richard with her beauty and charm. Before the afternoon is over, she is gazing into Richard's eyes over a drink and offering her sincerest condolences. She soon moves into his posh mansion, shocking his relatives and scandalizing his golf club.

But then Fleur's scheme begins to fall apart. Lingering longer than she had planned, she becomes entangled in his family and their problems. As taboos are broken and long-held secrets emerge, Fleur discovers that she is not the only one after Richard's money.
