Brought up under the strict regime of business first and personal relationships a waste of time and effort, Reginald followed in his father's footsteps-until now. Like a bee to honey, he is drawn to a mysterious lounge singer. Her poise and elegance lift her above the crowd. Despite his looming engagement to further the family empire, he can't stay away. After the death of her mother and falling out with her father, Elleah flees to escape the shackles of matrimony as a business deal. In 1950 post-war America, she will not settle. She can't deny the attraction to Reginald, but he is everything she has sworn off-a drinker, hardcore businessman-the embodiment of New York society, never mind being as close to engaged as a person can be without the ring. Only with each other do their masks come down. Can Reginald step out from the shadow of his family and become the man he was meant to be? Will Elleah see through her misconceptions to give him a chance?

Where Toby is drawn to her vivacious personality, Wendee can't help but be intrigued by the shy giant. But what will happen when each discovers the other's secret? Will their new found love be enough to bridge the shock and many hurdles to come? Or will they learn there is strength in trusting another?
