For a long time now, Fleur has been using obituaries that she has found in The Times to attend memorial services where she can seduce rich men. However, when she meets Richard, a dull and unhappy businessman, she finds herself staying for longer than she intended to. Summary of the Book Fleur Daxeny is a gatecrasher who does not crash parties. She only attends funeral services where rich men will be her prey. She seduces and charms them till she is in possession of their business card. She leaves the men after she has taken a handsome sum of money from them and never meets them again. At one such funeral service, she meets Richard Favour, who is bowled over by her. Her intentions are the same with him, and she does get his platinum card, but she does not want to leave him and his home. She needs to be sure that the matters of her heart do not interfere with her embezzlement plans. Will she be able to decide whether she wants to be with Richard, or if she wants to continue the life she has been leading so far?
