Alice Treemont has given up hope of meeting the right man
and falling in love. Living in Blake's Folly, a semi-ghost
town of rusting cars, old trailers, clapboard shacks and
thirsty weeds, she spends her time cooking vegetarian
meals,
rescuing unwanted dogs, and protecting the most unloved
creatures on earth: snakes. What man would share those
interests?
Jace Constant is in Nevada, doing research for his new
book,
but he won't be staying long. As far as he's concerned,
Blake's Folly is hell on earth. He's disgusted by desert
dust on his fine Italian shoes, and dog hair on his
cashmere
sweaters. As for snakes, he doesn't only despise them: he's
terrified by them. He can hardly wait to get back to
Chicago's elegant women, fine dining, and contemporary art
exhibitions.
So how is it possible that each time Alice and Jace meet,
the air sizzles? That she's as fascinated by him as he is
by
her? That they know their feelings go deeper than raw
desire? Still, it looks like this relationship is doomed
before it even starts.
In need of juicy gossip, the other 52 residents of Blake's
Folly have decided Alice has been alone for long enough.
The
attraction between her and Jace is obvious, so why worry
about essential differences? If you trust in love,
solutions
do appear. But don't those solutions call for too many
compromises, too much self-sacrifice?
