'Maddy Tyler, a chic art gallery owner, is driven, overworked and cynical about love. When a sudden crisis makes her re-evaluate her life, she impulsively buys a weekend retreat in the country.
'Fraser O’Neill, her rural neighbor, is an easy-going, laconic widower of simple tastes and quite definitely not Maddy’s ‘type’. Still, a comfortable weekend affair is another story... and Maddy of course will be in control.
'But nothing is ever that simple and Maddy is forced to face the demons of her past and make a heartbreaking choice that will rock all she thought certain in her life.'

'Money and success are not enough when love dies and secrets turn deadly....

'Cass, Fran and Angela share one of the city's best addresses, yet behind the successful careers and designer clothes each is facing the crisis of her life. Cass once had it all - spectacular home, great kids, and a happy marriage to a successful man who adored her. Or so she thought.

'Fran has worked hard to become a top-flight lawyer and has the trappings to prove it - not that her Italian parents are impressed by their still-single daughter. When passion ignites with a new client, Fran discovers that self-deception can exact an impossible price.

'Angela is a smart, sharp-tongued media anchor, but there are threats waiting in the wings...younger rivals and dangerous strangers. Fearless and independent, she is prepared for anything - except the shock of a crisis too enormous to handle alone.'
