Publisher's Synopsis
Sonya Baxter is an attractive, thirty-two year old with a successful career and a brilliant mind for business. She even has two homes. Sadly, both are as empty as her heart. Sonya longs to have a meaningful life filled with the kind of joy and laughter that can only come from having a family of her own. But she hasn't even found love, and her biological clock is ticking. Two doors down from Sonya's office sits the noticeably attractive Nicolas Carlini--a wealthy real estate entrepreneur who seemingly has it all. The reality is that his wife's addiction to opiate-laced martinis has whittled away at his eight-year marriage. After ending a heated debate over the phone, Nicolas confides in Sonya about what's really going on, then invites her to dinner as an expression of gratitude for allowing him to vent. But the hunger they satisfy and the thirst they quench doesn't happen at the dinner table. Lexi Harrington is Sonya's adorable niece. She's also a high school senior with an eleven o'clock curfew and two strict parents who don't allow her to date. Lexi thinks all her friends have the kind of freedom that she can only dream about. Little does she know, things aren't always the way they seem. When one of her friends introduces her to a smooth-talking college quarterback named Jett, Lexi breaks all the rules and quickly finds herself in unfamiliar territory. This story about relationships, kinship, and friendship will have you hanging on every word, as these characters navigate their way through social and moral issues common in today's society.
