The One Who Got Away

Brooke Watson is the woman every man in New York City thinks they know-but no one truly does. She's one of the city's most eligible bachelorettes, a self-made entrepreneur who's carved out a name for herself as a high-powered marketing executive. She's got the looks, the brains, the independence, and the charm that keeps the city's elite on their toes.

In her early thirties, Brooke has never had a "real" relationship. Oh, she's had her share of fun. A couple of short-term flings, a few one-night stands, a few lovers who promised the world and delivered nothing-except maybe a decent meal and an expensive bottle of wine. But she's always moved on before things could get too serious. Love? She doesn't need it. Not when she's too busy building her empire and enjoying the freedom that comes with being untethered.

That is, until she meets him.
