Sea of Scoundrels J C Thompson

Corporate attorney Anna Thornbury is running on empty and too busy for love when she meets and marries handsome stranger Jonathan DeLuca, a successful car salesman with a six-figure income and a shady past. He soon reveals himself to be a remorseless sociopath who casts a net of lies and deceit from Texas to Monte Carlo, ensnaring-among others-a Texas billionaire, a seductive real estate tycoon, a burnt-out boat broker, an Austrian baroness, an Italian mega-yacht captain, and two Swedish chefs. As her husband leaves broken dreams, empty bank accounts, and shattered lives in his destructive intercontinental wake, Anna finds herself adrift in a sea of scoundrels, not knowing who to trust. While she struggles to keep her head above water and keep her job, she is forced to come to terms with her own devastating secret. Inspired by actual events, Sea of Scoundrels explores the many possible answers to a question that has been asked of far too many women: "How could someone as smart as you fall for someone like that?"
