Ero andata in un negozio dell’usato per disfarmi del mio vestito da sposa, così da togliermi di torno la rappresentazione in pizzo e merletti del mio fallimento sentimentale. E tra le cianfrusaglie ho scoperto che qualcuno aveva avuto la stessa idea. Così ho dato un’occhiata al meraviglioso modello a sirena di qualche altra relazione andata in frantumi e, con sorpresa, ho trovato il misterioso messaggio: “Grazie per aver trasformato ogni mio sogno in realtà”. C’era anche una firma: Reed Eastwood, apparentemente l’uomo più romantico che sia mai esistito. Non sono riuscita a trattenere la curiosità. Non solo l’ho cercato, scoprendo che è bellissimo, ma ho anche deciso che avrei fatto di tutto per capire che cosa abbia mandato in frantumi il suo fidanzamento.

L'unico punto fermo nella sua vita è Michele, figlio della famiglia più disgraziata di Bari vecchia. La complessa amicizia tra i due si salda e rinforza attraverso i momenti salienti della loro esistenza. Fino a quando, diventati adulti, scopriranno che a legarli è ben più che un sentimento fraterno.

La notte in cui incontrai Drew Jagger, era appena entrato nel mio nuovo ufficio di Park Avenue. Chiamai il 9-1-1 prima di attaccarlo con le mie nuove abilità di Krav Maga. Lui mi immobilizzò rapidamente, ridendo della mia tentata aggressione. Si scoprì che non era un intruso, ma il legittimo occupante del mio ufficio, in vacanza mentre il suo spazio veniva ristrutturato. Così un truffatore era riuscito a affittarmi uno spazio non disponibile. Ero stata truffata di diecimila dollari. Il giorno dopo, dopo ore alla stazione di polizia, Drew ebbe pietà di me e mi fece un'offerta che non potevo rifiutare: avrei risposto al telefono mentre la sua segretaria era assente e lui mi avrebbe lasciato restare finché non avessi trovato un nuovo posto. Avrei dovuto essere grata e tacere quando sentii i consigli che dava ai suoi clienti, ma non riuscii a trattenermi. Non avrei mai immaginato che il mio corpo reagisse ogni volta che litigavamo. Eravamo completamente opposti: Drew era un distruttore di relazioni, mentre il mio lavoro era aiutare le persone a salvare i loro matrimoni. L'unica cosa che avevamo in comune era lo spazio che condividevamo e un'attrazione sempre più difficile da negare.
