Polly Malone is
the kind of woman who likes to plan ahead--far ahead. She’s scheduled her
biological clock right into the next decade. There’s no time for that, she’s
got a business to run. But underneath her tough-as-nails CEO exterior her heart
is squishy, and when a simple act of generosity draws in a client’s inconveniently
attractive brother, Julian, she gets sucked into his larger-than-life world in
a manner that makes it very difficult to escape. Not that she’s sure she wants
to escape.
Julian Ripley, a
debonair, top London computer games CEO, is well used to dealing with the adversity
and random selfishness that the people in his life manage to throw at him. With
a lunatic ex-wife, a clingy sister, and some vicious backstabbing by underlings,
spurred on by an impending corporate takeover, he’s got a lot on his plate. He
handles it with the same panache he applies to driving his black Aston Martin.
It’s only when he
discovers who Polly really is, and what she’s done, and what he, in turn, has
mistakenly done, that his aura of controlled serenity gets a complete and utter
battering.
Even when their love seems like the impossible
dream, the two CEOs team up to fight their demons and they run up against some
painful home truths, drawing them ever closer together. But can their love
survive or is it inconceivable?
