About this item

A provocative new novel by bestselling author Randy Susan Meyers about the seemingly blind love of a wife for her husband as he conquers Wall Street, and her extraordinary, perhaps foolish, loyalty during his precipitous fall.Phoebe sees the fire in Jake Pierce's belly from the moment they meet as teenagers. As he creates a financial dynasty, she trusts him without hesitation - unaware his hunger for success hides a dark talent for deception. When Phoebe learns - along with the rest of the world - that her husband's triumphs are the result of an elaborate Ponzi scheme her world unravels. Lies underpin her life and marriage. As Jake's crime is uncovered, the world obsesses about Phoebe. Did she know her gilded life was fabricated by fraud? Did she partner with her husband in hustling billions from pensioners, charities, and CEOs? Was she his accomplice in stealing from their friends and neighbors? Debate rages as to whether love and loyalty blinded her to his crimes or if she chose to live in denial.
