Vespasian Colville's life is unraveling. Expelled from college, he spends his time writing passionate love letters to a disinterested widow. The only job he can get is pick-up work for one of the local newspapers.Carine Bouchard's pleased to be drafting what she's certain will be a sensational first novel, while earning a modest salary as an advice columnist for the Daily Picayune. Until the editor makes Vespasian her "new" writing partner. . . .There's nothing new about it. They've known each other since childhood. Carine knows he's a loafer and rakehell. He finds her bookish and boring. Sparks fly as they struggle to agree on responses for their column-and especially after she enlists his help in adding intimate details to her novel. But when they receive a letter from a young woman being poisoned for her inheritance, their fledgling partnership faces the hardest test yet.
