Publisher's Synopsis
Carrah Andrews, 27, has it all. Not only was she the most celebrated debutante, she is heiress to an international Black cosmetics conglomerate, and the socialite of the South--except she's miserable. She never wanted to work for her family's company or spend weekends at black tie galas. Everything changes when a friend reads Carrah's manuscript and convinces her to submit to a publishing contest for a chance to pursue her own dreams.
To her utter astonishment, she wins the grand prize of a publishing deal. Looking for some legal advice to help with her new book contract, Carrah is directed to Christopher Chenault to review the contract. He's the best in the business--and an old family rival. With reluctance, she reaches out and he turns her down because of the bad blood between their families. After witnessing her kindness toward his sister as she prepares to debut at the Lakeside Debutante Ball, he reconsiders. Time together mutes the enemy lines their families have established and they find themselves falling into a passionately forbidden affair that neither family would approve of that threatens to expose family secrets best left forgotten.
