In this comedic tale of dysfunction and misadventure, Veronica moves to Seal Beach, California, where a love triangle and blackmail scheme have her backed into a corner. But it's the ill-conceived book, The Valentine State, that threatens to leave the charming, yet roguish characters high and dry. By letting fringe-friends into her life for the summer, Billy the handyman/small time drug dealer and Liz, the model waiting for a break--she found a diversion until accidental crime was on her sandy doorstep. "Laugh out loud funny and devilishly witty, I found myself both cringing and rooting for the delightful and devious Veronica Bennett." E.E. King author Dick Qigby's Guide to Afterlife
