Publisher's Synopsis

Though Matthew and Amelia were once in love and planning to raise a family together, they are now professional "enemies." He is a high-powered executive at exactly the kind of company Amelia believes is ruining the world - and she tells him so every chance she gets, in the newspaper articles she writes about the "crimes" of companies like Matthew's. Certainly Matthew would never help a homeless child. It's about as ridiculous as Matthew still having feelings for her.
And yet, on a cold November night, while walking to his upscale loft, Matthew finds himself face to face with a boy screaming for help. Ten-year-old Danny is desperate to save his three-year-old sister and determined to do whatever he has to do - including disrupting Matthew's careful organized life.
When Amelia gets involved and even their old college friend Ben, Matthew will have to confront the hard questions about what he's doing at his company. Amelia will change too, as she faces her last chance to have the family she's always wanted. They will all be forced to decide, finally, how they want to live and what they truly believe.
