From Booklist:

This novel is a sequel to, and an interesting twist on, Revenge Is Best Served Cold (2001). In spite of Blake St. James' trickery, Morgan's upscale party-planning business is very trendy, and her assistant Lisa has been instrumental in its success. Lyle Johnson, the successful Wall Street investment banker, has been welcomed into the buppie New York crowd. Contessa "Tess" Aventura Dubois' late Canadian husband left her a substantial estate. She returns to New York and buys a penthouse down the street from Lyle's downtown bar, Street Signs. Lyle is amazed at Contessa's ability to woo the men into spending time and money at the watering hole. So when she offers to buy a share of the business, he jumps at the chance to revitalize the bar. Lyle's employees are not as enthusiastic about Tess and become increasingly suspicious about the subtle changes in her behavior. Lyle's heart, business, family, and future are all at stake, and Tess becomes the one piece that can destroy it all. An engrossing story with great characters. Lillian Lewis
