A Connecticut woman's professional career becomes a very personal affair in this Americana romance from the New York Times-bestselling author.

 

Zane Wilding's company in Hartford, Connecticut, has made him one of the most influential financial wheeler-dealers on the East Coast. And he's learned to command attention with his looks alone--looks that are as cold and hard as marble. His ambitious new assistant, Deborah Holland, has never met anyone so calculating, inscrutable, or drop-dead gorgeous. As much as she hates to admit it, he takes her breath away.

 

Then Deborah learns the truth of Zane's private life--the bitter secrets of a punishing marriage that has become a prison. And for Zane, there is no escape. Even now, when he's finally found a woman he can open up to and care for, he fears he can never really have her. As difficult as it is, it's Deborah's ultimate decision: leave Zane behind and move on with her life, or stay with the one man she's come to love, the one man who's destined to break her heart.
