The Gloaming

by Jody R. LaGreca

With Great Gatsby grandeur, formal tables are set in the yard of the Wellington estate in Great Neck, Long Island for Margo Wellington's Engagement Party to Stephan Randall. Jealousy brews when Margo's Cousin Walter brings Chloe Winsler, a beautiful singer, and she and Stephan talk incessantly throughout dinner. Margo becomes enraged when she spies Stephan -- discreetly slip Chloe's card inside his suit jacket.

Stephan insists it was for him to make dinner reservations for them at The Wexley -- the supper club where Chloe sings. In a heated argument Stephan storms off in the middle of their engagement party, and Margo is rushed to the hospital for a twisted ankle from wearing stilettos on the lawn.

Jealousy proves fatal when accusations lead to an unexpected disaster. Who is to blame when words become weapons unknowingly? Can there be closure to a tragedy that catapults in unexpected ways? Will old money be able to mask the truth?

Find out just how The Gloaming is a time of light and darkness, mixed with shades of deception and raw truth.

Jealousy. Deception. Power. Money.
A book perfect for anyone who appreciates affluent living ...
Discover the lives of those born into wealth in The Gloaming .

Couldn't put it down

Addictive. Characters are alive and the story is enthralling. A great look at the difference between wealthy and poor and all that really matters in the end.
