HTML:<p>A sparkling, sexy read from the author of <i>Addition</i>, <i>Fall Girl</i> is a story about passion and loyalty, deceit and integrity, and the importance of believing in things that don't exist.</p> <p>Meet Ella Canfield, highly qualified evolutionary biologist. Attractive, if a little serious-looking in those heavy glasses-but then she's about to put her career on the line. Dr Canfield is seeking funding for a highly unorthodox research project. She wants to prove that an extinct animal still roams in one of Australia's most popular national parks.</p> <p>Meet Daniel Metcalf, good-looking, expensively dishevelled millionaire. Quite witty, but far too rich to be taken seriously. He heads the Metcalf Trust, which donates money to offbeat scientific research projects. He has a personal interest in animals that don't exist.</p> <p>Problem number one: There is no such person as Dr Ella Canfield.</p> <p>Problem number two: Della Gilmore, professional con artist, has never met anyone like Daniel Metcalf before.</p> <p>Someone is going to take a fall.</p> <p>Toni Jordan has a BSc. in physiology and qualifications in marketing and professional writing.
