Greed, Passion, Vengence... Nick Catano has been reeling from the pain of a lost love for much longer than he cares to remember. Now a successful caterer in an affluent, well toned but highly competitive Connecticut community, he has the kind of quiet, safe life he resigned himself to. While his many varied interests, hobbies, and friends offset his loveless relationship with vacuous socialite Clementine Hunter, none can replace the depth of feeling he lost so long ago-until he meets the charming Amanda McKenzie, an interesting acquaintance of a college roommate. Against his promise to himself to never again experience that level of emotional pain, Catano finds himself in a cautiously blossoming romance. While Nick never thought he would feel this way again, Clementine's affections are not so easily escaped. And when wealthy aunt and devious, vengeful brother come to their own conclusions about who Catano should choose, it sets off a deadly game where win or lose, no one can truly be called a winner.
