Prowess and Purpose: Transcending the Art of Persuasion

Alison is a brilliant, beautiful, and confident twenty-three year old, fresh out of grad school at the top of her class. A promising future as an international equities investor is assured for her by any measure. But a year ago, she casually walked into David's small computer accessories store to help her boyfriend with a purchase. Separated by only the sales counter, her skin flushed, her palms dampened, when she noticed David's captivating steel-blue eyes and dazzling white smile. Mystified by her unexpected attraction, she decided to further explore her feelings, rather than ignore them. Her desire for David quickly intensified, until she was certain she had found her one true love for a lifetime--her soul-mate. Fearing the regret of never pursuing him, she postponed her career plans, and set out to win David's heart. It's going to be tricky, though.

Can she pull it off? Can she capture David's heart and build a relationship for them? Will she find the challenges too daunting, reluctantly abandon him, and lose her one true love--forever? You must read to find out, all the way until the surprising twist at the end.
