Loved Me Once: A Novel Of Love, Romance And Business

As Loved Me Once opens, mid-December 2008, the economy is imploding and lovely Maggie McLaurin's financial, professional, and romantic lives lie in ruins. Rescue seems to be at hand in the form of choices abruptly presented by two men: Miles, aristocratic, well-to-do New Englander, who offers her his heart and hand; and Tom, somewhat rough-and-ready self-made billionaire, who offers her the job of her life. Miles is a business associate who's been waiting patiently until she is ready to commit before he confesses his love. Tom is the old boy friend who made good, her first love, who reappears in order to "forgive" her for dumping him for a boy of her own class, surprising Maggie because she'd always thought it was Tom who dumped her. The misunderstanding resolved, Maggie is launched on a personal and professional roller coaster that is both salvation and conundrum. Will she choose love, or business? Title contains multiple sexually explicit scenes; parental discretion is advised.
