He stole her heart at sixteen.
On a lunchtime visit to her father's office, Camille Bromwell sees her father's new business partner, Zachary Cadbury-Taylor stride masterfully into the building and falls head over heels for the tall, dark-haired, gray-eyed hunk.
Gave her a brief taste of heaven at eighteen.
The day after her eighteenth birthday, she sneaks around to the office to tell him how she feels about him. He tells her that she's too young for him, tells her to find someone of her own age. But, not before giving her a little prelude of how wonderful it would be if she was his woman.
And stakes his claim on her at twenty-three.
The only thing standing between their happiness is her beloved father. He strongly disapproves of interracial marriage having been once bitten himself. His heart condition is an added complication. It's impossible for her to please both of the men in her life: making one happy could kill the other. She knows that Zachary won't wait forever, but can she risk everything to prove to him that nothing else matters but their love?
