It is a small lie, but as Gaby learns, even small secrets can take on a life of their own. Determined to carve a career and a new life for herself, she goes to New York and, cloaked in a borrowed identity, Gaby Cocroft becomes Gabrielle Didier. Gaby Cocroft’s world is destroyed when her husband leaves her and she is suddenly alone, without money, without work and without love. Now in her most dazzling and involving tale yet, she takes us inside the opulent high-stakes world of the international antiques business with the moving story of a woman’s determination to remodel her life.

Since then, I've published First Born, Rightfully Mine, The Wild Rose, True Colors, The Lucky Ones, Out of Nowhere, Before and Again, Shades of Red, and recently The Nest, the first in a series: Country Club Crimes. My first book, Circles, was published in 1984 as a paperback original and stayed on The New York Times Bestseller List for three months. I grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and went to Skidmore College when it was still an all girl's school.īeing a lifelong wordsmith led me to such jobs as writing copy at ad agencies and doing sales promotions at Mademoiselle magazine. My family moved to the East when I was three.
