Amanda Greene Toner, twenty-three years' old, is a recently-and-unhappily married young woman living on the Main Line of Philadelphia, PA in a world filled with tradition and values. French-born and British-educated Remy Alden, thirty-six years' old, is a self-made multi-millionaire, living in Los Angeles, CA. Upon his mother's death - at the age of eight - Remy was sent to an orphanage, ran away at twelve, and found his way to London where he created a new identity. In their chance meeting at a trade show in Los Angeles, Amanda encounters Remy; and he recklessly and romantically pursues her for his own despite her being married. Remy offers Amanda a world of which many women would envy. However, there are consequences for Amanda becoming involved with Remy - from her parents, her ex-husband, and Remy's past lovers. Amanda shatters Remy's heart and dream of a family as she struggles to find her independence and leads Remy to a sinister behavior of keeping her emotionally and financially tethered to him while withholding his own love for her. Can the two lovers overcome their deep wounds and misconceptions to build their own happy ending?
