SUMMARY: Prisca Weld expected to become Mrs. Nick Fontaine before any of
her friends walked down the aisle. Nick worked for her father’s
lucrative construction business, and he and Prisca planned to start a
family in her upscale Brooklyn neighborhood. But she’s heading into her
late twenties, and she hasn’t achieved her most cherished goals.
Years
ago, Nick abruptly abandoned Prisca and ran home to Las Vegas, leaving
her with nothing but questions about what went wrong between them. Since
then, she has struggled to forget him, and she hasn’t found anyone she
can love as much as she loved Nick. All the best men seem to be out of
reach—including Tim Aldrich, a family friend who has recently returned
to New York after launching his career in California. Prisca has been
drawn to Tim since they were kids, although she believes her attraction
to him is as futile now as it was then.
But she still hopes to fulfill her dreams, and she also wishes she could resolve the endless conflict between her traditional father and her unconventional brother, whose childhood scars from his and Prisca’s parents’ contentious divorce are still fresh. Prisca has wounds of her own, and she tries to heal them while attempting to unravel old secrets that have been hidden for too long.
