"A tender love story sprinkled with a bit of angst. Slip it into your beach bag and enjoy." -Linda Rosen, author of The Emerald Necklace

Old scars. New love?

Suellen Atkins' trust fund has given her everything except love. As the youngest attorney in a major law firm, her life is filled with reckless spending and meaningless flings. But when she dumps her latest wild guy, he doesn't leave quietly.

Unable to shake the feeling she's being watched, Suellen runs into an old classmate at a colleague's farewell. Adam Isaacson is one of the good guys - and that might be more scary than her stalker ex. With the echoes of her parents' tumultuous marriage still ringing in her ears, Suellen can't imagine anything this promising.

When a shock medical diagnosis complicates things, her proclivity for self-sabotage goes into overdrive. As life turns upside down, her lunch friends at the law firm become a lifeline in the storm. But even they, with all their good intentions and well-meaning advice, can't save Suellen from herself. Nor can the man who's fallen in love with her. Only she can do that.
