Ulises knows his looks won’t last forever, and he’s desperate to get his hands on a real fortune.\n\nHe thinks he’s found it when he captivates his newest correspondent, Perla, the owner of a small-town boardinghouse in picturesque Veracruz. But when he meets her, he finds something he didn’t expect. The woman has a niece, Inés, who is as observant as she is desperate to escape her aunt’s household.\n\nWhen Inés discovers Ulises’s true intentions, she wants in on the scheme. They’ll convince her aunt that Ulises is a great catch, Perla will marry him, and her money will vanish. Easy, fast, and clean. But Perla is not the desperate, silly spinster Ulises imagines. She harbors secrets. And although Ulises does not believe in true romance, Inés is more alluring than he bargained for. Suddenly, a simple plan may become perilously complicated.\n\nVenture into the streets of a small town where a patina of convention and good manners conceals a cauldron of avarice and lust.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593874358\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593874358.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Moreno-Garcia, Silvia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
