What this book is about

Meredith Bancroft and Matthew Farrell were teenagers who fell in love, married secretly, and were then torn apart by her powerful father. A decade later, they're both corporate titans — and still irresistibly drawn to each other despite everything that happened. Judith McNaught's corporate romance delivers her signature intensity: ambition, betrayal, and a love that refuses to disappear.
