To Dillon, that means work first and fun a short second. The last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.

Emerson Winthrop, the hardworking new partner at SHN, is the picture of success. She is an amazing golfer and has a business she’s sold to SHN the most sought-after venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. She is a blonde-haired beauty with a seemingly flawless professional track record. And yet Emerson’s life takes a traumatic turn which leaves her questioning so much of what she once believed.

Both face an earth-shattering crisis that will alter the course of both Dillon and Emerson's lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like . . . until everything Dillon takes for granted comes falling down on him and the firm.
