Book Description:

After a whirlwind courtship, San Francisco artist Kayla is about to fulfill her dream of marrying Mr. Right and starting a family, —but on the wedding night, her dream man abandons her. Meanwhile, engineer Nick Granville returns home to San Francisco after a few months working in Africa to find his house lived in and his bank accounts plundered. Turns out these two strangers were duped by the same man: handsome, blond, smooth-talking Evan Chadwick. Unable to get the attention of the SFPD, the two marks take it upon themselves to track down Evan and get back what's theirs.

As the clues accumulate, so do the smoldering glances between broad-shouldered Nick and curvy Kayla.  Evan says, "the game will be over when I say it's over," and this is just his first play.

I just could not get into this book for some reason. I kept putting it down. The heroine and hero and the actual storyline seems disjointed to me. I like all the other Barbara Freethy books, but this one just struck me as 'off'.
