At forty-five, striking Carol Blake has it all: a Chicago corporation she built from the ground up on the verge of international success with a complicated merger, and Brian Cross, who at thirty is the youngest Board member of her company. Against her better judgement she and Brian fall in love and secretly marry.

Marriage is not without your ups and downs, but as the merger grows closer to fruition, Carol's Board of Directors, including Brian, undercut her to wrest control of her company from her. Betrayed and enraged, Carol must regain control.

...but is it too late?
