At forty-one, sassy, savvy magazine publisher Nora Heller should have known better than to fall into bed with a man her matchmaking mother picked out for her. Because, with one bad marriage behind her, past failures came back to haunt her . . . and she couldn't forget what had happened to her beautiful sister Susan and the handsome doctor she adored. Nora believed that living in a family of women had taught her everything about the ways men can shatter dreams. Still, she had gone looking for love, found it, and lost it. Now a second chance meant facing the truth about her family, her career, and her heart.
