Elle Watson had it all-or so she thought.

From climbing the corporate ladder to substantial financial success, Elle's life is a master class in ambition. So why is she standing in desperation at the edge of her New Orleans balcony ready to jump?

Blindsided by a betrayal at work and utterly burned-out, Elle says goodbye to the life she thought she wanted and tries to reclaim her happiness. (Because she was happy once, right?) She trades the corporate grind for a fresh start in Boston to pursue her long-abandoned dream of becoming a writer.

As her savings dwindle and deadlines approach, the last thing Elle expects is to fall for Boston's most eligible bachelor, the magnetic Barrett Henry. With his piercing blue eyes and unapologetic dreamer's charm, he's both a distraction she can't afford and a heartthrob she can't ignore.

But then there's the effortlessly suave Jude Ashford. Once collateral damage in her battle between ambition and love, he's the man who knows her better than anyone and the person her heart can't quite let go of. Caught in a whirlwind of emotions as her past and present collide, Elle must confront old wounds, new possibilities, and the hardest question of all: What-and who-is she willing to fight for?
